Produced from the historic Riceys appellation, it offers a distinctive, terroir-driven expression that stands apart from more familiar Champagne styles, combining finesse, depth, and a sense of place rooted in local tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePale copper-rose in the glass, it shows a refined and expressive bouquet with notes of wild strawberries, red cherries, dried rose petals, citrus peel, and subtle spice. With air, more complex hints of herbs, earthy minerality, and a gentle vinous character begin to emerge.\n\nOn the palate, it is elegant and precise, with bright red fruit, crisp acidity, and a layered, lightly structured texture that gives it more depth than a classic rosé Champagne. The finish is long and dry, with mineral tension and a quietly persistent red-fruited core. This is a wine that can be enjoyed now for its freshness and complexity, but it also has the balance to develop further in bottle over the coming years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced from the En Valingrain parcel in Les Riceys, a village known for its unique chalk and limestone soils and its long history of producing Rosé des Riceys, the wine reflects a cool-climate terroir with strong mineral influence. Harvested by hand, the fruit is typically selected with great care to preserve precision and site expression.\n\nVinification is carried out with a light-touch approach that aims to capture the character of the grape and the parcel rather than heavy winemaking influence. The result is a wine that bridges the world of Champagne and still rosé, with freshness, structure, and a distinctive sense of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe chilled at around 8–10°C to preserve freshness while allowing the aromatics to open up. It is an excellent match for duck breast, charcuterie, roast poultry, salmon, mushroom dishes, or soft-ripened cheeses, and it can also work beautifully with refined Mediterranean cuisine. Decanting is not usually necessary, though a brief splash in the glass can help release its aromatics if served young.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHoriot Olivier et Serge is a respected family producer in the Côte des Bar, closely associated with the artisanal and terroir-focused movement in Champagne. Olivier Horiot has earned a strong reputation for championing the identity of Les Riceys and for crafting wines that highlight parcel-by-parcel distinction rather than a uniform house style.
