Champagne Monochrome Blanc de Blancs Paul Launois 75 cl

Description

History

Julien Launois together with his wife Sarah took over the family business in 2010 and started producing their cuvées in 2015 under the name of Paul Launois in honor of their son. They have around 6 hectares in the Cotes des Blancs, with beautiful parcels also in Mesnil-sur-Oger.

Grapes used

100% Chardonnay

Production method

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

Alcohol content

12%

Tasting notes

Straw yellow color with golden reflections and very fine perlage. On the nose the notes of fresh yellow fruit and spices intertwine with a powerful minerality. On the palate it is creamy, fine and crystalline with great persistence.

Possible combinations

Ideal as an aperitif, or with fish appetizers in general. So yes to scallops, sushi, sashimi and salmon, to name a few. Also suitable on a first course, especially if it has fatty components to reduce, such as cheese, butter, etc. or a light smoke.
