Tasting Notes
100% Chardonnay from the Launois who's Grand Cru vineyards are a stones throw from Krug and Salon. The Composition is pale and unassuming but packs a very detailed punch into the glass. Orchard fruits like pear and apple, shortbread, almonds with savoury earthy characters with a chalky and precise finish. Exceptional. - Pete L
For three generations, the Launois family has faithfully tended to 6.5 hectares of Chardonnay vines in the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, at the heart of Champagne's Cote de Blancs region. The husband and wife team of Julien and Sarah, while raising their young son Paul to continue the family tradition, meticulously craft these wines by hand.
Historically, they supplied their grapes to the village cooperative. However, in a significant turning point in their family's journey, Julien and Sarah Launois made the decision to transition from growers to producers. Their handcrafted cuveés are both rare and delightful.
