Georges Laval, Champagne, 1er Cru, Cumieres Brut Nature (Base 2022)

Laval makes some of the best grower champagnes out there, and he was the very first grower to farm organically in the region. There is a quiet beauty to these, and they continue to deploy intriguing nuance and aromas the longer you have them open. Creamy, smoky tangerine-like fruit … such a complex wine for those who take the time to pay attention.
