Georges Laval Les Hautes Chêvres Brut nature 1er Cru 2018
A monumental Champagne for artisanal precision and expressive power. The olfactory profile alternates small black fruits with tertiary and mineral notes of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the fruitiness of Pinot Noir and the total absence of dosage. A stylish example that represents the pinnacle of the Cumières Cru.
Georges Laval Les Hautes Chêvres Brut nature 1er Cru 2018
The "Les Hautes Chêvres" Brut Nature 1er Cru 2018 by Georges Laval is one of the rarest and most sought-after cuvées in the entire Champagne region. Produced exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes (historically it was a blend with Meunier, but Vincent Laval chose the path of absolute purity for this cru), it comes from vines planted between 1930 and 1971 in Cumières. Vinification, true to the style of the Maison, takes place entirely in wood without filtration or fining. The 2018 vintage has given this Blanc de Noirs extraordinary phenolic power and richness. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: clear notes of crisp red fruits, orange zest, and dried flowers merge with deep hints of exotic spices, chestnut honey, wet chalk, and a mineral streak reminiscent of graphite. On the palate, it is sumptuous and monumental;The entrance is commanding, dominated by a dense and savory substance that stretches towards a very long, vertical finish with an endless aromatic persistence, supported by an aristocratic saline vibration.
