Paul Launois Composition #4 Extra brut
A monumental Champagne for charisma, rigor, and stylistic purity. The olfactory profile alternates bright citrus notes with hints of chalk and incredibly refined baked bread. On the palate, it is full of flavor, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the verticality of the low dosage and the richness of the Chardonnay. A demonstration of style that embodies the essence of Grand Cru.
Paul Launois Composition #4 Extra brut
Paul Launois' Champagne Composition #4 Extra Brut is a monumental work, a Blanc de Blancs that embodies the new vanguard of the Côte des Blancs. With this cuvée, Julien Launois delivers an ode to precision: pure Chardonnay grapes sourced exclusively from the Grand Cru of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, the kingdom of chalk. The "Composition" is a masterful blend of different plots and reserve wines, vinified with a tailored approach. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: crisp notes of candied lemon peel, Granny Smith apple, and ginger flowers merge with deep aromas of freshly baked bread crust, crushed chalk, green almond, and a mineral streak that evokes sea salt and flint. On the palate, it is sumptuous and three-dimensional;The entrance is straight like a blade, dominated by a dense yet very agile body, with a noble and crisp bubble that stretches towards a savory, endless finish with an interminable aromatic persistence, characterized by an aristocratic balsamic freshness.
