This exceptional wine reveals the very essence of Vouvray’s terroir, where the clay and flint soils bestow their unique character upon the Chenin Blanc. The sustainable viticulture, practiced with passion at Vignoble Alain Robert, yields grapes of optimal quality, carefully selected during harvest. Traditional vinification, followed by patient aging for 36 months on laths in the limestone cellars, shapes an Extra Brut of remarkable complexity.
The complete absence of dosage during disgorgement preserves the crystalline purity of this Vouvray. Like a wine craftsman, Alain Robert sculpts a living masterpiece where ripe white fruit aromas – velvety quince and juicy pear – intertwine gracefully with delicate floral notes. The palate, with its seductive breadth, unfolds a generous composition where fresh hazelnut and French toast notes are sustained by perfectly balanced vivacity.
This Extra Brut impresses with its mineral tension and persistent finish, the signature of a great terroir. The fine bubbles, the result of extended aging, form a string of pearls that elevates the most refined dishes, from scallop carpaccio to briny oysters. This exceptional cuvée expresses all the nobility of Chenin Blanc and the expertise of Vignoble Alain Robert. Served between 6 and 8°C, it will reveal its full aromatic complexity and can develop serenely for 3 to 7 years.
