The elevated
slopes overlooking the ‘Clos de Mesnil’ vineyard are where the grapes for this
wine are born.The combination of this fruit bathing in the cool, Champagne
sunlight while being rooted in the traditional
chalky soils of Les Mesnil sur Oger results in fruit that is the epitome of
what terroir-driven Chardonnay
from this region should taste like. For this bottling, the nose is a delicate
blend of high-toned citrus and white flowers, leading into a vibrant and floral
palate that possesses both precision and purity. Bright gold with tinges of
fluorescent green, fine and persistent bubbles assist in developing a rich
mid-palate while still allowing the wine to maintain natural tension and
acidity. 400 cases were produced.

A wine three
generations in the making, Champagne Jean-Pierre Launois is a winery that
retains traditional values while continually 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 Mesnil sur Oger in
the heart of the Côte des Blancs. As the next chapter of this family story
unfolds, Julien and Sarah Launois have decided to become producers as well as
growers. They believe that Champagne is a product of luxury and quality, but
also a vector of connection and openness to the world. Anxious to keep this
spirit, they will welcome you to the property to share with you their
incredible love of wine. If you find yourself in Mesnil, this is one place you
must visit.
