Context

On the border of Champagne and Burgundy, the village of Les Riceys has gradually risen to fame for the special character of its Pinot Noirs, its terroir-driven wines and its beautiful landscape.

Domaine Alexandre Bonnet is one of the most prestigious Champagne houses in the region, and an important actor in preserving the heritage of what it refers to as ‘wild champagne’.

“MY PERSONAL GOAL IS TO PROVE THAT LES RICEYS IS CHAMPAGNE'S GREATEST TERROIR”
