Tasting Notes
Les Hautes Chevres represents a small, extraordinary plot of Pinot Meunier vines. These vines were initially planted in 1930, with subsequent plantings in 1947, 1965, and 1971. Regrettably, the 1930 portion had to be replanted after the 2014 harvest, yet these vines remain some of the region's oldest Meunier specimens. Positioned at the pinnacle of the Cumieres vineyard's slope, this tiny parcel thrives in soil composed of fine clay resting upon a solid limestone bedrock foundation. As a result, it produces Meunier grapes with a rich, multi-dimensional character that only deepens with bottle aging. This micro-cuvée is an exceptionally rare and highly sought-after gem in the region, and it's bottled without any additional dosage. - Pete L
The Laval family boasts a four-generation legacy in Champagne, with estate-bottled wines dating back to the 1970s. Georges Laval, Vincent's father, initiated the domaine's wine bottling in 1971. Vincent officially joined the family enterprise in 1991 after completing his studies, and since 1996, he has led the estate.
Among their 2.5 hectares of vineyards, the Laval family owns and cultivates 2 hectares in Cumières and a half-hectare in Chembrecy, nestled in the Montagne de Reims.
