Rive Droite is a blend of the terroirs of Damery and Fleury-la-Rivière. Damery is located on the edge of the marl, while Fleury-la-Rivière is located at the bottom of the valley, half-surrounded by the forest. Very sunny area, these terroirs appeal to Meunier & Pinot Noir! The soils are clay-limestone, sandy and marly. Soils of great diversity, where millions of years ago our vines were just a tropical sea, rich in biodiversity. Today, shells and other fossils litter the soils of clayey-sandy areas, offering great Champagne wines and an intense saline content!

"Gamet's NV Extra Brut Blanc des Noirs Rive Droite (2020 base) is bright, effusive and full of character. Dried pear, kirsch, cinnamon, dried flowers and nuts all grace this silky, understated Champagne, comprised of 85% Meunier and 15% Pinot Noir from Fleury-la-Rivière and Damery. The dosage feels a bit low to me (5 grams per liter), but otherwise, this is nicely done. Aeration helps pull this together. Disgorged: January, 2023."

"This plush Champagne has delicate apple blossom and chamomile notes wafting through finely meshed flavors of white cherry"
