M. Richomme Cuvée Génération Grand Cru

The M. Richomme Cuvée Génération Grand Cru 2016 is an extraordinary champagne that embodies the elegance and finesse of the best Grand Cru vineyards in the Champagne region. This cuvée is a tribute to generations of craftsmanship within the M. Richomme house and offers an impressive expression of the exceptional terroir.

The blend of this champagne consists of 100% Chardonnay, sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in the prestigious Côte des Blancs. The chalky soils and cool climate of this region contribute to the freshness, minerality and complexity that characterise this wine. The 2016 vintage, a vintage of outstanding quality, offers grapes with a perfect balance between ripeness and acidity.

The 2016 Cuvée Génération Grand Cru has matured for more than five years on yeast cells, which contributes to its complexity and refined mousse. In the glass, the champagne presents itself with a brilliant golden colour and a fine, persistent sparkle. The bouquet opens with aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits, brioche and a subtle hint of toasted almonds. On the palette, the champagne offers a silky texture, lively acidity and impressive depth. Flavours of lemon, peach and a hint of honey lead to a long, mineral finish.

The M. Richomme Cuvée Génération Grand Cru 2016 is an ideal choice for festive occasions and pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as turbot with beurre blanc, lobster or a selection of delicate oysters. With a storage potential of 8 to 10 years, this champagne is an exceptional reflection of M. Richomme's expertise and tradition.
