Already in the 1970s, Georges Laval was one of the pioneers in the production of organic champagne, remaining for many years among the few faithful to this agricultural method. A small winemaker who started from scratch, but with a family that has invested all its passion and love for champagne in these 3 hectares, always respecting the needs and integrity of the territory.

Production method

It is produced according to the so-called champenoise method or classic method, a method in which the wine essentially undergoes two different fermentations: the first, the alcoholic one (which it has in common with the rest of the wines) takes place in fermentation vats; the second, however, takes place directly in the bottle and ensures that during this second process, thanks to particular yeasts, the wine also develops carbon dioxide (which will then give life to the famous bubbles upon uncorking).

Alcohol content

12.5%
