Champagne Brut Nature
Colas Robin 2019

The Champagne Cola Robin from Domaine Piollot is conceived as a tribute to Pinot Blanc, one of Champagne’s Cépages Oubliés, preserved thanks to the dedication of Robert Piollot, a key figure in safeguarding this historic grape variety. The cuvée comes from a 65-year-old vineyard, south-facing and located in Polisot, in the Côte des Bar, where the Kimmeridgian soil imparts mineral tension and a marked sense of place. The advanced age of the vines lends the wine concentration, complexity, and a distinctive identity that makes this interpretation of Pinot Blanc a rarity of great character.

This edition, Vintage 2019, is vinified and fermented 80% in stainless steel and 20% in fût de chêne. This balance enhances both the varietal purity and the structure of Pinot Blanc, one of the Cépages Oubliés of Champagne. Malolactic fermentation is fully completed, and after tirage the wine ages on its lees for at least 5 years, gaining depth and finesse. It is released with no final dosage, in Brut Nature style, to express authentically the character of the plot and of the grape variety.

On the palate, Cola Robin 2019 opens with notes of ripe citrus, quince, white flowers, and a pronounced chalky signature typical of Kimmeridgian soils. The palate is clean and vertical, defined by incisive saline tension and a generous yet taut texture. The structure is balanced, supported by a fine, well-integrated mousse; the finish is long, shaped by hints of aromatic herbs, minerality, and delicate nuances of dried fruit. An elegant and precise Champagne of gastronomic personality, bringing together depth and authenticity.
