Colour: Pale golden yellow with silvery reflections. Delicate, fine, and persistent perlage.

Aroma: Opens with vibrant notes of exotic fruits and citrus, complemented by lively mineral undertones. Hints of lychee, grapefruit, and dried fruits are immediately perceptible, followed by subtler nuances of pepper and almond.

Palate: Generous and structured, with a long, elegant finish revealing delicate patisserie notes. Truly a top-tier Champagne.

Pairing Suggestions: Ideal as a refined dry aperitif. The typical Pinot Noir character, combined with its crisp dryness, makes it perfect with fresh seafood, fish carpaccio, sushi, and sashimi.

Climate: Les Riceys enjoys a warm, maritime temperate climate with rainfall throughout the year. Summers are short, while winters can be quite cold.

Soil: The Les Riceys vineyard, the largest in Champagne, is part of the Côte des Bar. Soils are mainly clay and limestone dating back to the Kimmeridgian period.

Vinification: 100% Pinot Noir, produced using the Classic Méthode Traditionnelle. A still base wine is first created (alcoholic and malolactic fermentation), then transformed into sparkling wine through a second fermentation in the bottle (liqueur de tirage). After the prise de mousse, the remuage allows dead yeast cells to settle in the bottle neck for removal. No additional sugar or liqueur is added, preserving its pure, expressive character.
