This Coteaux Champenois is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown in the En Barmont vineyard in Les Riceys. The soil here is typically clay-limestone, which brings tension and minerality to the cuvée. The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified as whole bunches with long maceration. Fermentation and ageing take place in barrels and vats, without fining or filtration, to preserve the expression of the fruit and the terroir. The wine is then aged on lees before bottling, without added dosage, in a natural and sincere style.

Les Riceys is one of the most unique terroirs in Champagne, at the crossroads of Burgundy and Aube. It is the only commune to have three AOCs, including the rare Rosé des Riceys appellation. The Coteaux Rouges are particularly expressive here thanks to steep slopes, Kimmeridgian soil rich in marl and limestone, and a climate that is warmer than the Champagne average. This combination produces intense, lively and fragrant Pinot Noirs with a more Burgundian structure and a very distinctive identity, perfectly revealed in En Barmont.
