Georges Laval, Les Longues Violes, Brut Nature 2012
The tiny Laval estate in the village of Cumières has been certified organic since 1971, and today Vincent Laval makes fewer than 15,000 bottles of Champagne a year. This is the first release of a new single-vineyard Champagne from Les Longues Violes, a parcel of old-vine Pinot Moir and Pinot Meunier. It’s dark and vivid in tone, marked by a vibrant energy that feels driven by viticulture and soil, and it’s long and densely fragrant on the finish, showing a remarkable refinement and complexity.
