Champagne Olivier Horiot
Rosé des Riceys "En Valingrain" 2016

The Rosé de Riceys 'En Valingrain' by Oliver Horiot is a rosé wine made from 100% Pinot Noir harvested in 2016 from the south-facing hillside same-name plot. Ten per cent of the harvested grapes are crushed by foot at the bottom of the cuvee, then the whole bunches are added. The semi-carbonic maceration usually lasts 5 to 6 days with two pumpovers per day. The wine is then racked into older barrels and remains there on the lees for several years before being bottled.

The Horiots are among the few families to produce this excellent and rare Rosé des Riceys, a restricted and unique appellation (A.O.C. Rosé des Riceys) dedicated to a rosé wine in the Champagne region.

Deep pink in colour, the Rosé de Riceys 'En Valingrain' is distinguished by its aromatic richness and finesse on the palate with a long persistence. A thoroughbred, original rosé wine, undoubtedly among the best Rosés in France.

Winery

Champagne Olivier Horiot

Domaine Olivier Horiot, with a vineyard area of about 8.5 hectares, is located in Côte des Bar, the southernmost area of Champagne, and more precisely in the Ricey Village, where, in addition to the AOC Champagne, two other appellations coexist, namely Côteaux Champenois and Rosé des Riceys. The family-run property has been led for several generations by Olivier Horiot. 

Through his own production of Champagne and still wines (Rosé des Riceys and Coteaux Champenois), he has refocused attention to so-called "Cépage Oublies", or forgotten grape varieties (Arbane, Petit Meslier, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris), in addition to the classic Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay.

Olivier Horiot has approached the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture with a focus on the cycles of nature without the use of harmful chemicals; furthermore, in the vineyards ploughing is carried out using horses to minimise environment impact. 

Vinification is carried out by "lieu-dit" in order to bring out the differences that each parcel of vineyard translates into notes that surprise the palate during the tasting. The Kimmeridgian soil dominated by limestone and clay give to Olivier Horiot's wines character, finesse and balance and reflect a continuous commitment to quality.
