Wine from the estate
Olivier Horiot's vintage Coteaux Champenois En Valingrain Blanc is a rare and luminous expression of the Riceys terroir, where the winemaker reveals the depth of a unique vineyard site through a still wine of great purity. Grown on limestone soils that impart structure and finesse, this white wine is distinguished by its crystalline, taut style, almost Burgundian in spirit, while retaining a distinctly Champagne identity. Each vintage faithfully reflects the year's climate, with a precision and sincerity typical of Horiot's work.
On the palate, En Valingrain Millésimé is characterized by a crisp freshness and an elegant texture, marked by aromas of ripe lemon, white apple, delicate flowers, and a very pronounced stony minerality. Vinification, often in oak barrels, and extended aging on the lees give the wine added depth, a light richness balanced by a natural tension. This combination of density and finesse results in a vibrant, energetic wine with a clear gastronomic dimension.
With age, the Coteaux Champenois En Valingrain white gains complexity and develops more flavorful nuances of fresh hazelnut, marzipan, and dried fruit, while maintaining remarkable purity. It is a wine of great precision, sought after by connoisseurs of single-vineyard wines and elegant terroir-driven whites. Olivier Horiot has crafted a masterful interpretation of a unique hillside, demonstrating just how the Riceys vineyards can produce still wines of exceptional depth and elegance.
Unlike the sparkling wines for which Champagne is primarily known, Coteaux Champenois is a still wine.
