Champagne Alexandre Bonnet
Rosé des Riceys La Forêt 2019
Rosé des Riceys "La Forêt" by Alexandre Bonnet is a rosé wine made from 100% Pinot Noir from the parcel of the same name in Les Riceys in the Côte des Bar. The Domaine uses sustainable viticulture practices to preserve and support biodiversity in the vineyards, all its wines are in fact certified HVE - Haute Valeur Environnementale. Millésime 2019, the grapes are selected according to the so-called massal selection from vines planted in 1974 to preserve their intra-varietal genetic variability and obtain grapes of the highest quality. The pressing is done by feet for about 1/5 of the total volume to which the whole bunches are then added; the semi-carbonic maceration lasts from 4 to 5 days with daily pumping over. The fermentation is done for 75% in steel and for the remaining 25% in barrels for 9 months and subsequent 2 years in the bottle so that the wine acquires greater complexity.
Rosé des Riceys “La Forêt” is a singular wine, a paradox between strength and finesse: the nose is a complex of notes of red fruits, strawberry, cassis, wild strawberry, violet, quince, fresh almonds and peppermint. The mouth is full and vigorous with silky tannins and surprising length. A great Pinot Noir for gastronomy.

Champagne Alexandre Bonnet
We are in Les Riceys, a village in the Côte des Bar known for the production of rosé wines and for being the only one to have three Controlled Designations of Origin (AOC): AOC Champagne, AOC Rosé des Ricey and AOC Coteaux Champenois. On the steepest slopes of Champagne, at the gateway to Burgundy, the Kimmeridgian limestone gives the wines of Les Riceys the unique expression that has made the reputation of its 3 appellations.
The Domaine Alexandre Bonnet is located in this municipality, founded in 1970 by René, Serge and Alain Bonnet and today managed by the family with the support of Arbaud Fabre, appointed CEO in August 2019.
The Alexandre Bonnet wine property has become the emblem of this unique terroir, 47 hectares of vineyards dedicated to the elaboration of Champagne, Coteaux Champenois Rouge and Rosé des Riceys.
The Domaine concretely acts to preserve and develop biodiversity in the vineyards by choosing to not use herbicides or insecticides, planting orchards on the edge of the vineyards and creating flowering fallows for bees. With an HVE - Haute Valeur Environnementale certification since 2015, the Alexandre Bonnet vineyard is also distinguished by the development of a museum to preserve the ancient vines of Champagne. Its exceptional vineyard combined with the knowledge and methods applied in the vineyard and in the cellar, allow the Maison to develop precise and expressive champagnes, which perfectly reflect the Riceys terroir, and to create interesting cuvées.
