New Champagne Jeaunaux-Robin

We've taken delivery of our new 'house' Champagne, which we are very excited about.

Jeaunaux-Robin is a family business based in Talus-St-Prix, a small village 20 miles south of Epernay. They are everything that we were looking for:-

1. We loved all the cuvees which taste wonderful

2. We liked their sound, traditional, winemaking techniques (viticultural and vinification)

3. We apprediated their terrific value for money. No easy thing in this day and age of poor exchange rates (for us anyway) and transport costs.

The range starts off with their Brut 'Carte Noire' (£17.95) - a blend of Pinot Meunier (70%) and Pinot Noir (30%) - a deliciously round style, dry but not that cheek-puckeringly dry style you sometimes find. Easy drinking. Their Brut 'Selection' (£19.50) has 10% Chardonnay in the blend. Again, due to the prominence of black grapes used, rich fruit flavours and slightly higher acidity. Commended by the Guide Hachette and the Gilbert & Gaillard Guide. Their Rose (£21.50), with the same blend as the 'Selection', is deliciously fruity.

These Champagnes are all available from the Tasting Room website or by visiting our shop or indeed by phoning us on 01225 463 392.

Cheers.
