Jean Pierre Launois Composition Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs MV (disgorged Jun 2021)

Description

100% Chardonnay. Belonging to the Launois family for three generations, Champagne Jean-Pierre Launois is today a winery that retains traditional values while evolving with the times. Jean Pierre Launois, with his son Julien, carry on the family tradition as stewards of the family vineyard, located in the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil sur Oger in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. Composition is a true expression of Le Mesnil terroir through the lens of Julien Launois. This 100% Chardonnay micro-cuveé is sourced from family-owned vines overlooking the famed “Clos de Mesnil” vineyard. All bottles are hand-riddled and disgorged à la volée. True love and care go into the preparation and minimal dosage (0.5g/L) of each bottle. The wine is racy and elegant with unending minerality and a very vibrant texture. Simultaneously exquisite and laser-like. You will be hard-pressed to find a Blanc de Blancs from this Grand Cru village at this price or this quality
