Maison Raday Rimosa Ripa Brut Nature NV
Maison Raday “Rimosa Ripa” Brut Nature NV is a grower Champagne from the Tribaut family’s vineyards around Romery in the Vallée de la Marne, made in a dry, zero‑dosage style that emphasizes purity, texture and terroir.
What is it made from?
-
Most current listings describe the blend as 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir.
-
Recent producer-side info points to Chardonnay/Pinot Noir from organic vineyard sources.
-
The fruit comes from Les Crayères du Levant in Romery, farmed organically by Aurélien Lurquin.
What style does it have?
-
It is a Brut Nature, so expect no added dosage and a very dry finish.
-
The style is typically described as complex and traditional, with a bright, mineral profile rather than overt fruitiness.
-
Drinkers can expect a food-friendly Champagne with enough structure for shellfish, crab and lobster.
What makes it interesting?
-
Maison Raday is a small, terroir-focused project that credits the grower on the label and keeps intervention low in cellar work.
-
The wines are made to reflect the vineyard and the grower rather than a heavily manipulated house style.
-
For a Brut Nature, it feels crisp, chalky and precise, with good length and a clean, saline finish.
