This is the estate’s must-have wine. A fine, complex nose of white and yellow-fleshed fruit, with floral and slightly spicy notes, as well as a hint of citrus and menthol. The palate is generous and salivating on the attack, then lingers for a long time with the great uprightness inherent in the Riceys terroir. The finish is long and saline, calling out for the noblest of dishes ! James Suckling : 92/100 ; Andreas Larsson : 91/100 ; Falstaff : 92/100

Technique

Viticulture

Varied limestone and marl from the Kimmeridgian Jurassic, cool, sunny, semi-continental climate in southern Champagne, average altitude 250 m. Precision viticulture, extensive prophylaxis, tillage, grassing or inter-row sowing, organic compost, no weedkillers, no insecticides, HVE and VDC certification since 2015. Development of biodiversity by planting orchards, truffle oaks, melliferous fallow land, late mowing of grassed areas (pollination), restoration of vernacular heritage (cadoles).

Oenology

Harvested exclusively by hand and progressively according to the ripeness of the grapes. Sorting in the vineyard. Immediate transfer to openwork crates. Slow pneumatic pressing, removal of prunings, static settling, simple yeasting, natural malolactic fermentation, low sulphiting, light filtration after chilling. Aged for an average of 36 months on the lees, disgorged with low dosage to preserve the purity of the wine.
