Coteaux Champenois Riceys Rouge En Barmont

The grapes come from the En Barmont vineyard site in Les Riceys, whose soils are described as clay-limestone and give the wine a salty, mineral tension. The wine is matured in oak casks; the duration and any spontaneous fermentation have not been documented for the vintage. 2017 shows aromas of sour cherry, red berries, chocolate, mint and floral notes. On the palate, the wine is energetic and juicy, with fresh acidity, lively tannins and a slender to medium body. It is one of the rare still red wines of Champagne.
