"An exclusive vintage—discover the essence of the Les Riceys terroir"

This blend of Pinot Noir (vinified as a white wine) and Chardonnay expresses the pure, mineral character of the marl-limestone terroir of Les Riceys. It features a complex nose with notes of ripe pineapple, candied citrus zest, and a subtle floral bouquet. The palate is very well-balanced, offering remarkable freshness and superb length.

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 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.
