Recognition & Reviews

This Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru champagne is produced in Mesnil sur Oger, in the prestigious Côte des Blancs, the preferred land of the Chardonnay grape variety. Its zero dosage liqueur content makes it a "Brut Nature" champagne. This approach allows the wine to express more freely the finesse of its aromas as well as the identity of the terroir.

 

The Illustration cuvée stands out for its originality, with its woody and mineral character. The chalky terroir combined with oak barrels reveals its full aromatic potential: toasty and saline.

 

100% Chardonnay

Base wine 2021 in barrel : 37%

Reserve wine in cask : 63%


With malolactic conversion.

Champagne Paul Launois

Julien and Sarah's handmade cuveés are as delightful as they are rare. They believe that Champagne is a product of luxury and quality, but also a vector of contacts and openness to the world.
