Another beautiful champagne from the Launois family. A pale old gold color with nice perlage and intensity. Freshly baked bread and green apple aromas for days. Melons and white peaches with herbs for good measure. There’s an innate sense of lemon zest in the air that’s just magnificent.

Pure Grand Cru Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger. Four years of aging on lees gives this a resplendent and stately nature. Nice acidity and a superb mouthfeel, especially on the second day. Apples and chalk on the palate alongside vibrant citrus fruits. I struggle to think of a better value in Champagne than this. Stock up. — 12 days ago

Excellent. From start to finish there’s the perfect champagne yeastiness that’s not overbearing or heavy. Would definitely drink again — 2 months ago

Yeasty smells, tart citrus bite. Concentrated and crystallized flavor. Tounge watering and then ends with chewy, yeasty goodness. — a month ago

Just a glass, but it was stunning. On the nose, notes of red fruits, peaches, flowers, chalk, herbs, spices, and light smokiness. Super saline and energetic on the palate, with a nice citric drive. Just so tasty. Wish there was more, but I was late to the party and that was all that was left for me. I guess I should be grateful. If anything, it firmly confirms my love for this cuvée - definitely one of my favourite rosés in Champagne. — 2 months ago

Oh yes! Intense Champagne. Yeasty bread and lemon zest on the nose, pear and citrus with nutty, slightly herbal undertones. Great. 65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay. 3g/l dosage. Disgorged 10/2023. — a month ago
