Olivier Horiot Sève appears cool, mineral and elegant. Bright lemon yellow colour and fine perlage. The nose opens with generous aromas of lemon tart, ripe quince, brioche, candied ginger and a hint of salty oyster shells. A present acidity creates a clean entry to the palate, which displays lemon zest and spicy notes, beautiful substance, freshness and a mineral finish.
100% Pinot Noir. The fruit comes from the "Les Barmont" site, which has a red loam base soil with Kimmeridgien limestone in the subsoil. The site is located in the village of Les Riceys, a small region in a lesser-known part of Champagne. Olivier Horiot practices biodynamic viticulture and natural vinifications.
Fermentation and maturation in wooden vats after the harvest. A long maturation on the lees is a foundation at Olivier Horiot. Degorgement took place exactly six years after the harvest day (14.9.2020).
