Rosé des Riceys is a still rosé wine from the commune of Les Riceys in the Aube. It is made exclusively from Pinot Noir. This rosé is not a Coteaux Champenois, however, but, as its name suggests, is honoured as an appellation in its own right. It is regarded as an outstanding wine, produced in comparatively small quantities and by only a handful of growers in the area. Almost without exception, these wines show themselves to the drinker as particularly fruity, highly aromatic and elegant, qualities that delighted the likes of King Louis XIV centuries ago.
