Georges Laval | Champagne | “Les Longues Violes” Cumières Premier Cru Brut Nature | 2015 | 750ml

Description

If you want to find Georges Laval’s house in Cumières, you need precise directions. It lies in a nameless, low-lying path and has no sign on the door. What looks so insignificant is actually home to a unique treasure. The Lavals have been working organically in the vineyard since 1971. Vincent Laval has been running the winery since 1996 and has put it on a par with winemakers like Jacques Sélosse. Laval has 2.5 hectares of vineyards that are cultivated with a small tractor and a horse and whose wines are pure and unadulterated, shining with a style that is uniquely their own. Vincent only makes five champagnes. The wines are always aged with little intervention in used barrels, which are topped up weekly. Nothing is added except a minimal amount of sulphur, nothing is fined or filtered. The champagnes mature in the cellar for 18 to 50 months.

Free yourself from the convenient tyranny of other people’s tasting notes! We encourage you to find out about the wines from the producers themselves by visiting their website.
