Georges Laval is one of Champagne’s most respected grower-producers, farming just a handful of hectares in the Premier Cru village of Cumières with rigorously organic methods that date back to the 1970s. Because the domaine bottles only tiny quantities each year, every release has become highly allocated, especially among collectors who prize the purity and definition of Laval’s style.
The 2021 Cumières Brut Nature is created from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay grown on the steep, south-facing slopes overlooking the Marne. Vinified in oak and finished with zero dosage, it delivers a precise, vivid expression of the terroir with citrus oil, red apple, crushed herbs and a chalky undertone. The palate is tense and finely textured, with a long and saline finish. It’s a strikingly pure Champagne that reflects the character of Cumières and the meticulous work of one of the region’s most admired growers.
Varietal: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay
Appellation: Cumières Premier Cru, Montagne de Reims, Champagne, France
Farming: Certified organic; low-intervention vinification
Style: Sparkling. Dry, precise and intensely site-driven
Size: 1.5 L
