Champagne Vincent Lamoureux, a Les Riceys winegrower in the heart of the Côte des Bar
Champagne Vincent Lamoureux
An independent winegrower in Les Riceys, in the Côte des Bar (Aube), since 1975 and over three generations. A rare terroir, the only village to produce three AOC: Champagne, Rosé des Riceys and Coteaux Champenois. Pinot Noir dominant, certified HVE Level 3 and Terra Vitis.
In the south of Champagne, in the Côte des Bar, the village of Les Riceys is one of those confidential places that discerning enthusiasts cherish. Here, no industrial production: steep slopes, often manual work, and a terroir capable of giving birth to unique wines. It is on this demanding land that the Lamoureux family settled in 1975, with a simple idea: to make sincere champagnes, faithful to their origin. Today, three generations carry on this know-how with the same exactingness.
A family house of independent winegrower
At Champagne Vincent Lamoureux, everything is done at the estate: from the vine to the bottle, nothing is left to chance. The work of the vines is conducted with precision, the vinification is mastered, the ageing is long and the bottling is carried out on site. The choice is clear: to favour quality over volume. Each cuvee is the direct reflection of the Les Riceys terroir and the family's work. The vineyard stretches over steep slopes typical of the Côte des Bar, benefiting from an excellent solar exposure, a microclimate favourable to slow ripening and soils bringing structure and depth.
Three AOC on a single terroir: a rarity in France
The village of Les Riceys is unique: it produces three distinct appellations. Champagne, made according to the traditional method with ageing on lees of 3 to 8 years, offering complexity, finesse and length. The Rosé des Riceys, a rare still wine made from Pinot Noir, one of the most confidential and sought-after rosés of Champagne. And the Coteaux Champenois, white and red wines without bubbles, which express the terroir in its purest form. Three different expressions, one terroir.

A demanding vineyard dominated by Pinot Noir
The estate's king variety is Pinot Noir: powerful, structured and expressive, typical of the Côte des Bar. It is completed by Chardonnay, for freshness and minerality, and by Pinot Blanc, rarer, for finesse and originality. On steep slopes with excellent solar exposure, with a microclimate favourable to slow ripening, these varieties give champagnes of character, precise and elegant. The estate is committed to sustainable viticulture, certified HVE Level 3 and Terra Vitis: respect for the soils, limitation of inputs and preservation of biodiversity.
