Georges Laval, Champagne, Cumieres 1er Cru, Vincent Laval Les Vignes de Mon Oncle Brut Nature (Base 2022)

Vincent Laval operates his family estate in the village of Cumières, where he maintains organic farming practices that the domain pioneered in the region over fifty years ago. The grapes for this wine are made from a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier grown on south-facing, chalk-limestone slopes. In the glass, the wine shows precise notes of lemon zest, green apple, and almond, featuring a taut, saline texture with a persistent mineral core. Its lack of dosage emphasizes the natural ripeness of the fruit, resulting in a balanced, energetic structure that is ready to enjoy tonight or can hold in the cellar for further development.
