N.V. Georges Laval, Les Vignes de Mon Oncle Premier Cru

Champagne, France | 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier

Sourced from the Premier Cru village of Cumières, on the right bank of the Marne. These grapes are harvested from south-facing slopes that benefit from excellent exposure, while the combination of chalk, sand and clay contributes both to ripeness and a distinctive minerality to the wine.

N.V. Les Vignes de Mon Oncle is a blend of two vintages, assembled following a careful tasting of the vins clairs. The ripe, generous fruit of the Pinot Meunier is complemented by the structure of Pinot Noir coupled with the freshness and tension of Chardonnay. In turn, this has created a beautifully balanced and expressive Champagne. Ageing in oak barrels brings texture, depth and additional complexity.
