Alexandre Bonnet Les Riceys Rosé Champagne 75 cl 12,5%

Alexandre Bonnet Les Riceys Rosé Champagne is a delicious rosé with fine bubbles, made in the village so historically linked to rosé wine that it lent its name to the rare Rosé des Riceys appellation.

Expert's Description

Alexandre Bonnet Les Riceys Rosé is a Champagne from Les Riceys, Aube, France, made from 100% Pinot Noir with an alcohol content of 12.5%. Domaine Alexandre Bonnet farms 47 hectares in Les Riceys - the largest holding in the commune - after brothers Serge and Alain Bonnet gave the house its name in 1970. Les Riceys is the only commune in all of Champagne with three AOCs, and the Pinot Noir grape holds a particularly special place here, partly thanks to the local saignée tradition also used for the local Rosé des Riceys.
