Olivier Horiot Champagne Blend: A Taste of French Elegance

Producer & Region: Crafted by the esteemed Olivier Horiot in the heart of Champagne, France, this non-vintage Champagne Blend is a testament to the region’s rich winemaking heritage.

Grape Varieties & Composition: A harmonious blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Blanc, sourced from eight distinct parcels in Les Riceys, showcases the unique terroir of this warm village. The red and white grapes combine to create a Champagne that’s both succulent and vibrant, with a perfect balance of ripeness and acidity.

Awards & Accolades: Earning high praise with 93 points from Decanter and 92+ points from John Gilman, this Champagne is recognized for its complexity and elegance. Gilman notes its “complex nose of white peach, apple, rye bread, limestone minerality,” and a palate that’s “crisp, full-bodied, focused, and very well-balanced.”

Organic & Biodynamic Practices: Committed to sustainable winemaking, Olivier Horiot employs organic and biodynamic farming methods (though not certified), ensuring that each bottle reflects the purity and authenticity of the land.

Tasting Notes & Aging Potential: With a dosage of 0-2 g/L, this Champagne is drinking beautifully now and promises to evolve gracefully over time. Enjoy its elegant mousse and lovely backend minerality between 2023-2035.

Unique Appellation: Les Riceys is the only village in Champagne permitted to produce both non-sparkling and sparkling wines, boasting three appellations. Olivier Horiot’s dedication to reviving indigenous grape varieties makes this cuvée a coveted choice for both novices and connoisseurs.
