Description

chevron-down

35-year-old Pascal Roblet lives in Volnay next to Lafarges, but makes his wine in a cellar in Bligny-les-Beaune. Biodynamique since 1997, Roblet believes in a dense plantation of 12,000 vines per hectare and in training to Cordon du Royat. He used horses in his vineyard, and in his Taillepieds he does not cut the leaves back to, as he puts it, not only to avoid stress on the vines, but also to increase the leaf area. There isn't much to be found about this starting producer yet, but that will certainly follow over the years!

There is a vibrating sorting table, there are not many stems (approximately 10% are retained), fermentation temperatures up to 32 degrees Celsius and 20 - 25% new oak is used. Destemming or not, depending on the year and the cuvée, Roblet only works with pigeage, doing nothing for the first two weeks of cuvaison and working with punch down for the next two weeks. In the cellar, the élevage lasts between 18 and 24 months, and the presence of new oak is minimal these days. Pascal Roblet is a rising star. His wife, Cecile Tremblay, has her own domain. Pascal and Cecile also have a joint domaine called Nerthus. It started in 2004 and consists of 3 hectares of Burgundy, Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru Le Vay and Village Puligny-Montrachet. The results are excellent. Deep, concentrated and complex wines, with considerable maturing potential, built around beautifully powdery tannins. We don't understand why this high-quality domain is still languishing in relative obscurity. But if the wines continue to be this good, it's only a matter of time before people realize it.

William Kelley (Robert Parker) calls it one of the top producers that is under the radar and talks about his visit to Roblet with great praise. The Pommard Chanlin-Haut 2020 reveals notes of dark berries, coffee, spices and black truffle. Medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, rich and concentrated, with powdery tannins and a long, savory finish.
