Description
What kind of wine it is
The Coteaux Champenois Riceys Blanc En Valingrain by Olivier Horiot is an outstanding still white wine, a refined expression of the Champagne region. In the glass, it displays a bright straw yellow colour, accompanied by floral and fruity aromas of great precision. The blend of Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay develops a fresh, savoury and powerful palate. Its structure ensures an ageing potential of up to ten years, showing its best at a serving temperature between ten and twelve degrees.
Where it comes from
Production originates in Les Riceys, within the Coteaux Champenois, a designation dedicated to the protection of the region's still wines. The mention of the En Valingrain parcel highlights the exclusive connection with this specific terroir. The entire vineyard is managed according to the principles of organic farming and a strict sustainable approach, allowing the pronounced aromatic clarity and natural savouriness to faithfully reflect the characteristics of the soil.
How it is produced
The winemaking process is aimed at enhancing a purely still sip, free from any effervescence. The process is characterised by the absence of filtration and fining, a deliberate choice to preserve the density of the material and the authenticity of the grape varieties. The result is a wine with a bold profile and a strong savoury impact. The perfect taste balance pairs naturally with fish dishes, shellfish and sushi, and is also excellent with pasta dishes and soft cheeses.
