This great dry white wine is a Champagne rarity, and Riceys has the secret! It has a bright, limpid yellow colour with green and gold highlights. A nose of great floral complexity (white flowers, honey, pollen), accompanied by fruity aromas (peach, ripe apricot) and a hint of butter. The attack is full and vibrant, with a mineral backbone (gunflint) and a lively finish. If it can be enjoyed young, it will age wonderfully for ten years or more.

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, static settling, 100% alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats for the Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc, 50/50 in vats and second-hand Burgundy parts for the Chardonnay. Natural malolactic fermentation, light sulphiting. Aged on fine lees in vats and barrels with light stirring for 7.5 months, then aged for 1 year in bottle.
