Wine from the estate

Olivier Horiot's En Barmont Rosé des Riceys is one of the rarest and most distinctive expressions of southern Champagne. Made exclusively from grapes grown in the Riceys terroir, it benefits from a limited appellation renowned for its still rosés with a strong character. The En Barmont vineyard, ideally situated and boasting typical limestone soils, allows the Pinot Noir grapes to reach remarkable ripeness, resulting in a wine that is both subtle and deeply rooted in its terroir.

Olivier Horiot, a winemaker known for his precision and meticulous approach to each individual plot, crafts En Barmont with precise vinification, often in oak barrels, which reveals the full aromatic richness of the Pinot Noir. The wine opens with notes of fresh cherry, wild strawberry, and delicate flowers, with a mineral structure that provides brightness and length. The palate combines richness and tension, in a style reminiscent of both a gastronomic rosé and a light red from a noble terroir.

This Rosé des Riceys also possesses remarkable aging potential. With time, it gains depth, reveals more flavorful nuances, and develops a more complex expression without losing its elegance. En Barmont appeals to lovers of distinctive wines and pairs perfectly with refined dishes such as roast pigeon, grilled salmon, or certain spicy cuisines. It is a rare and authentic wine, driven by Olivier Horiot's exacting vision and the unique character of Les Riceys.
