Champagne Rosé des Riceys En Barmont 2019

What kind of wine is it

Olivier Horiot's Champagne Rosé des Riceys En Barmont is an organic rosé characterised by a fine perlage, produced in the heart of Champagne. Made from Pinot Noir grapes, this wine expresses the most authentic essence of Rosé des Riceys through an artisanal production approach. On the nose, it reveals clear and lively aromas of red fruits, which anticipate a rich and extremely elegant sip. On the palate, a distinctive vegetal note emerges, intertwining with a pleasant persistence of flavour, offering a structured and harmonious experience.

Where does it come from

Production originates in Les Riceys, in the Aube department, an outstanding wine-growing area located within Champagne. This region represents a unique crossroads between the influence of nearby Burgundy and the deep identity of Champagne, providing an ideal environment where Pinot Noir develops aromatic profiles of rare finesse and a pronounced vegetal note, typical of northern climates. To enhance the purest expression of the terroir, Olivier Horiot adopts vinification by single lieu-dit, isolating the peculiarities of a specific plot through sustainable agricultural practices.

How is it produced

The production process follows an artisanal and organic vocation, aimed at maximising the quality of the grapes. Vinification is carried out to preserve the original freshness and definition of the aromas, keeping the varietal characteristics intact. In order to protect the wine's complex structure, the stage before bottling takes place without filtration or fining, ensuring a dense and enveloping palate. The glass displays a bright salmon pink colour, enhanced by a delicate effervescence that accompanies a long and persistent finish, demonstrating remarkable potential for evolution over time.
