"This is the quintessential, delicate, and fruity expression of Alexandre Bonnet's terroir."

“Subtle oxidative notes evoke almonds and the scent of the forest floor after rain in an elegant nose. This evolution carries over to the palate, which has a beautiful texture, highlighted by toasty undertones and accompanied by notes of gingerbread and rapadura. Noble bitter notes lead to a lively finish. A Champagne with a moving balance, without any heaviness.” (Gault & Millau 2024).

Wine rated 90/100

Rated 3*Stars (A high-quality product that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

Freshness, liveliness, and good body come together in a full-bodied blend to create a champagne that’s definitely meant for the table.

About the estate:

This winery in Les Riceys has completely overhauled its operations, presenting itself as a wine estate with numerous single-vineyard wines inspired by the Burgundian model. It specializes in red grapes (though it also produces a respectable blend of Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay, known as “Harmonie de Blancs”) and, in particular, a delicious saignée rosé—that is, one made by starting the winemaking process as a red wine rather than, as is more often the case in Champagne, through a blend of red and white wines. Her champagnes have gradually gained depth of flavor and finesse of texture.

About the wine:

Subtle oxidative notes evoke almonds and the scent of the forest floor after rain in an elegant nose. This evolution carries over to the palate, which offers a beautiful texture, highlighted by toasty undertones and accompanied by notes of gingerbread and rapadura. Noble bitter notes lead to a lively finish. A Champagne with a moving balance, without any heaviness.

About the estate:

The village lies at the far end of the Laignes Valley, on the border between Champagne and Burgundy. It is a land of hillsides that people have patiently shaped for vineyards over the centuries. Its history and name are diverse, yet its reputation is singular: Les Riceys. On the steepest slopes of Champagne, the Kimmeridgian limestone gives the Pinot Noirs of Les Riceys the unique character that has earned its three appellations their reputation: Champagne, Coteaux-Champenois, and Rosé-des-Riceys. Here, the Alexandre Bonnet estate produces some of the most prized wines of the Côte des Bar.

About the wine:

Aged for three years in the bottle before being bottled with yeast, this champagne features aromas of white flowers and intense acidity. The wine has a textured mouthfeel with minerality and a spicy flavor of white fruits.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 16,5/20

Rated "Recommended"

About the wine:

Delicate aromas of dried meadow flowers and warm, sweet hay. The chalky texture gives the wine a firm yet refined concentration. Loose, lace-like bubbles. These beautiful aromas linger on the palate, adding a graceful lift and a savory nuance to the ripe yellow fruit.

About the wine:

A textured, balanced, and lively Pinot Noir champagne. Well-crafted and concentrated, with precision and style. It offers aromas of baked pears, sweet spices, and raw almonds. It is flavorful, with fine bubbles and a vertical dimension. Vibrant and agile. Disgorged in 2023.
