Génération is the most ambitious cuvée from M. Richomme: a vintage Champagne of 100% Chardonnay from Grand Cru parcels on the Côte des Blancs, fermented and aged in oak casks rather than stainless steel. It is the wine in which the family shows the full measure of its craft, handed down generation after generation.

100% Chardonnay from old vines in Grand Cru vineyards on the Côte des Blancs. Fermented and aged in oak casks, lending the cuvée a richer, more structured signature than the house's classic stainless steel cuvées.

Store the bottles lying down in a cool, dark place at a constant temperature of 10-12°C. Avoid light and vibration. Once opened, consume within 1-2 days (with a Champagne stopper).

The wine house

M. Richomme

Champagne

The Richomme family has carried its own name on the label since 1954, though its roots go back further still. It was Moïse Richomme who, with the help of his father Jules, decided to establish a house of his own. The vineyards lie in Cramant, one of the loveliest grand cru villages of Champagne, and the house is known for some of the finest grand cru champagnes in the region. Richomme is a true récoltant-manipulant: a family that works only its own grapes, never bought-in fruit. The cellars lie seven to eight metres below ground and hold a constant temperature of 13 degrees all year round. Today grandson Franck, trained in viticulture and oenology, runs the house together with his grandmother Marie-Sophie. Worth knowing: the average age of the vines is well over forty years, and some parcels contain vines of more than fifty years old, which lends the wines their hallmark richness.
