Champagne Jacques Robin Ma Bonne Etoile NV

Jacques Robin is a small independent Champagne grower, located in Buxières sur Arce - a small peaceful village where vines grow on South facing hill-sides of the Cotes des Bar.

Planted in 1973 across 22 different small plots, all on limestone marls and clay soils. Always respectful of nature, Jacques Robin has achieved the HVE or 'Haute Valeur Environnementale'. This is an environmental certification for producers covering biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategy, management of fertiliser use and management of water.

Ma Bonne Etoile translates to 'My Good Star' (or shooting star if we are to believe the poetry of the vigneron). Pinot Noir dominant Champagne, the grapes for this wine coming from 6 different valleys. Matured 26 months on lees, showing beautiful balance between freshness, fruity notes. Green apple, violet, white peach, strawberry and mango combining with a creamy mousse and a clean finish. Lovely wine, and exceptional for this price point.
