Ambonnay, a prestigious Grand Cru village in the Montagne de Reims subregion of Champagne, France, is renowned for its exceptional Pinot Noir, which brings richness, depth, and structure to Champagne. Situated south of Reims and east of Épernay, the village benefits from a cool continental climate, south and southeast-facing slopes, and chalk-limestone soils, which enhance the wines' freshness and minerality. While Pinot Noir dominates, R.H. Coutier uniquely cultivates Chardonnay, adding elegance and balance to their wines. Ambonnay's grapes are highly sought after by prestigious houses like Krug and Bollinger, yet grower-producers like R.H. Coutier offer distinct, terroir-driven Champagnes that capture the village's signature power and finesse.
