OLIVIER HORIOT 2016 COTEAUX CHAMPENOIS BLANC DES RICEYS (MAGNUM)

Chardonnay from a single vineyard in the town of Riceys, a small village located at the southernmost edge of Champagne. This is an expressive, nuanced, and biodynamic white wine that's pure, bright, and inspiring. The vines are tended by Olivier Horiot and his wife Marie, who instantly transitioned their vineyards to organic and biodynamic practices in 1999. Their vineyards lie on precious limestone and chalk soils, which give their long-lived and thought-provoking wines that magically balanced acidity and minerality with an irresistible roundness on the palate.
