From Jeaunaux Robin in France's Champagne region, the Les Grands Nots Brut Nature 2007 is a vintage 100% Chardonnay sourced from Grand Cru Chardonnay plots in the Vallée du Petit Morin on chalky clay soils that impart finesse and structure. Hand-harvested grapes from the challenging 2007 vintage—marked by cool, wet conditions yielding fresh, concentrated fruit—undergo gentle pressing and primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by secondary fermentation in bottle via the traditional method and extended lees aging of 12 years before disgorgement with no dosage to develop profound complexity and purity. This limited-production cuvée emphasizes organic certification and artisanal techniques, yielding a golden sparkling wine with amber reflections and lively mousse.
Tasting Notes A bone-dry, racy vintage Champagne with aromas of brioche, lemon oil, and white flowers, offering a tense, chiseled palate of green apple, citrus zest, and chalky minerality, finishing with vibrant length and saline precision. The nose reveals green apple, pear, and flint with subtle brioche and floral notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and lively, with sharp acidity, fine bubbles, and flavors of citrus, white fruits, and smokiness, leading to a long, crisp finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2007 Les Grands Nots Brut Nature earned 92 points from Wine Enthusiast for its ripe, smooth Chardonnay character with finely integrated acidity and dry edge.
Serving and Cellaring Serve chilled at 8-10°C without decanting to preserve effervescence. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with oysters, raw fish, or light seafood. Enjoy now through 2040, during which it will develop enhanced nutty and autolytic nuances.
