Georges Laval
Managed by Vincent Laval, the vineyard is located in Cumières, 5 km from Épernay on the right bank of the Marne, a Premier Cru terroir. Organic since 1971, the vines and soils are meticulously tended. Since 2010, 40% of the vineyard has been ploughed with a horse, and the three Champagne grape varieties, most of which come from old vines, give the best of themselves. Indigenous yeasts, no chaptalization, long ageing periods and low doses of sulfur all contribute to the quality of our wines. Laval champagnes are deliciously sapid, and generally more racy than powerful.

96/100
From a plot of just 1,500 square meters that has never received herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers, this cuvée was made in oak barrels, then rested 62 months on laths before being presented for tasting. The complex nose precedes an elegant palate, punctuated by notes of sweet almond. The wine is pure, chiselled and airy. The finish offers magnificent, fine chalky bitters, the signature of Champagne's finest terroirs. An exceptional champagne for connoisseurs to discover.
