Insight
Get to know the wine
Les Chenes Brut Nature 2013 by Georges Laval comes from a specific parcel in Cumieres, Premier Cru of the Marne Valley. Strict biodynamic viticulture. Spontaneous fermentation in barrique with indigenous yeasts.
No malolactic fermentation. Manual remuage. Zero dosage. No filtration. Les Chenes is the most highly regarded parcel of the domaine. 2013 in Champagne was a vintage of great acidity and freshness — the most difficult choice for a Brut Nature. The result is a Champagne of absolute purity.
Sommelier's note
“"Pale straw with green nuances and a fine perlage. Great purity: wildflowers, flint, fresh citrus, chalk and a subtle balsamic note. Straight, precise and mineral — zero dosage amplifies the acidic tension. A complexity that grows in the glass. To be drunk now, at its best 2025-2035."”
