In the glass, you’ll find clean and elegant floral and white-fleshed fruit notes. Aromas of poached pear and toast follow. On the palate, a pleasant sensation of very fine bubbles with fruity and fresh flavors with a lingering finish that calls for another glass!
The roots for Domaine Pierre Richard begin in 1919 when Xavier Richard purchased adjacent properties from his neighbors, but it wasn’t until his son Jean Richard took over did they begin concentrating on wine.
From 35 year old vines are grown on clay and limestone soils, the grapes are hand-harvested at the end of October. Primary fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks and lasts two weeks with temperature control. The blending and bottling is done during the following year’s harvest.
