Description
What kind of wine is it
Olivier Horiot Champagne Rosé des Riceys En Valingrain is an organic sparkling rosé that purely expresses the character of the Pinot Noir grape. In the glass, it displays a salmon pink colour and a fine perlage, achieved through the strict use of the Traditional Method. The aromatic bouquet opens with notes of red fruits, leading to a rich and elegant sip. The absence of sugar dosage defines the authentic Pas Dosé style, ensuring a dry and highly precise taste on the palate.
Where does it come from
This wine originates from Les Riceys, a renowned village located in Champagne. The Rosé des Riceys designation is historically linked to the cultivation of Pinot Noir and translates the strong identity of the terroir into the glass. The unique microclimate gives the wine a vibrancy and aromatic finesse typical of northern winegrowing regions. Vineyard management follows the principles of organic and sustainable agriculture, practices aimed at preserving the natural ecosystem and ensuring a true varietal expression.
How is it produced
The cuvée is made entirely from grapes from a single plot, a production choice that concentrates and precisely defines the profile of the original vineyard. The unfiltered vinification is designed to preserve the natural vitality and aromatic complexity of the must. With remarkable ageing potential, it is best enjoyed when served at a temperature of 6-8°C. It finds its perfect balance at the table when paired with salmon carpaccio, white fish, seafood starters and mature cheeses.
