THE ORIGINS

Predominantly cultivated from the 2016 harvest, which makes up 80% of the blend. Grapes were sourced from over 50 crus within Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Bar regions, harvested in mid-September. A difficult but rewarding year due to an unpredictable climate, R.016 is one of smallest yields estimated in 20 years, yet it is defined by quality wines, with a good sugar/acid balance (much like 2022), and complex and generous aromas.

ALL ABOUT THE 2016 HARVEST

“Fine summer weather brought a good dynamic to the grape maturation after a challenging first half of the the year, which led to one of the smallest yields estimated in 20 years. None the less, it resulted in a formidable sugar/acid balance, and complex and generous aromas.”
– Cyrille Diniz, lead oenologist
