Champagne Paul Launois'Monochrome' Brut MV 1.5L Bottle

This is a great artisan Champagne and even better that it’s available in magnum bottles! 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.
