Les Terres Mêlées R21

Grapes: Pinot Noir 
Disgorged: April 17, 2024
Region: Champagne  (Côte des Bar)

About the domaine: Raphaël Picconet and Hannah Boesel make beautiful, soulful zero-dosage Champagnes and delicious Coteaux Champenois from a variety of sloped chalky parcels in the Côte des Bar, overlooking the Seine.

There's a real energy in this part of Champagne, we're far from the monoculture of the Marne up north. The small winemaking village of Neuville-sur-Seine is just a few miles from source of the Seine river (which is just a couple of meters wide as it winds its way through the Aube). It's wild and wooded — hunting grounds and wheat farms mix with vines — and the Bichery wines reflect this biodiversity.
