The finest growers in Riceys are Olivier and Marie Horiôt, who not only produce luminous Champagnes, but two single-vineyard Rosé des Riceys, and a startlingly mineral Coteaux Champenois white. With family roots in vine growing dating to the 1600s and a father and grandfather who sold their grapes to the cave cooperative, Olivier Horiôt decided to vinify independently as well as work organically with some biodynamic methods. 

The 5 Sens is comprised of biodynamically farmed Arbanne, Petit Meslier, and Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Blanc (a particularly successful variety in the Aube. Boasting suave fruit and a fine bead and deft mineral cut, this will shimmer at the holiday table.
