Tasting notes for the Champagne Brut Nature "Les Chênes" Cumières 1er Cru 2018 - Georges Laval

  • EYE: This champagne has a brilliant golden yellow color, with luminous reflections and delicate, persistent effervescence.
  • NOSE: Aromas of fresh fruits such as green apple, pear, and lemon mingle with delicate notes of white flowers and citrus. Mineral and chalky nuances bring an earthy and elegant dimension to the expressive yet complex ensemble.
  • MOUTH: A lively and refreshing wine. The attack is crisp, followed by a creamy texture and fine effervescence. Flavors of white-fleshed fruits unfold, with a superb balance between freshness and maturity. Mineral and saline notes underscore its terroir, while a slight touch of yeast brings additional complexity. The finish is long and persistent on the palate.

 

In short: The Champagne Brut Nature "Les Chênes" Cumières 1er Cru 2018, produced by Georges Laval, is an exceptional champagne that captivates with its aromatic expression, freshness, and purity on the palate. Its "Brut Nature" character means that no sugar has been added during the winemaking process, allowing the full expression of the terroir and vintage characteristics. This champagne can be enjoyed now to fully appreciate its freshness and vivacity, but it also has good aging potential. It can be stored in your cellar for several years, allowing it to further develop complexity and aromatic richness. It pairs perfectly with seafood such as oysters, langoustines, or scallops. It can also be enjoyed as an aperitif or accompanied by light dishes of fish or poultry.

Organic champagne since 1971

 

The Domaine Georges Laval is the perfect example of an ultra-confidential vineyard. Currently managed by Vincent Laval, the son of the original founder, this tiny Champagne estate is located near Épernay. Only 3.3 hectares of grapevines and they're entirely cultivated according to organic farming principles (with an official certification to prove it). In 1996, five years after finishing his BTS oenology courses, Vincent inherited the family estate founded in 1971. That was only the birth of the estate though, since the Laval family has been cultivating grapevines for 4 generations.

Vincent and his father Georges share a common philosophy: an infinite respect for nature and the many terroirs in the region, as well as a deep love for winemaking. Patience and perseverance are the two mottos of Vincent Laval, who knows how to produce finely crafted cuvées. Powerful, complex and above all authentic. With his team of 4 people, the winemaker artisan takes infinite care of his grapevines (mostly Chardonnay, but also Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier). The vineyard had an output of around 20.000 bottles of wine per year.
