About the estate:
This Riceys-based winery has completely overhauled its operations, presenting itself as an estate with numerous single-vineyard wines inspired by the Burgundy model. It specializes in black grapes (although it also produces a respectable cuvée of Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay, Harmonie-de-Blancs) and in particular a delicious rosé de saignée, i.e. made from the initial stages of red wine production and not, as is more often the case in Champagne, from a blend of red and white grapes. The champagnes have gradually gained depth of flavor and finesse of texture.

About the estate:
The village lies at the end of the Laignes valley, on the border between Champagne and Burgundy. It is a land of hillsides that man has patiently shaped for vineyards over centuries. Its history and name are many, its reputation singular: Les Riceys. On the steepest slopes of Champagne, the Kimmeridgian limestone gives the Pinot Noir grapes of Les Riceys the unique expression that has made the reputation of its three appellations: Champagne, Coteaux-Champenois, and Rosé-des-Riceys. The Alexandre Bonnet estate produces some of the most sought-after wines of the Côte des Bar.
