Vincent Laval is one of the most respected grower-producers in Champagne, farming biodynamically in the Premier Cru village of Cumières on the Montagne de Reims. Les Vignes de Mon Oncle is produced from old vines planted primarily to Pinot Meunier, with smaller portions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, sourced from organically farmed estate parcels. Fermented with native yeasts and bottled with no dosage, the wine reflects Laval’s meticulous, low-intervention approach and the depth that defines the best grower Champagne.
The wine is layered and powerful, offering notes of baked apple, citrus peel, dried flowers, hazelnut, and brioche alongside chalky mineral tones and subtle spice. The palate is textured and intensely focused, balancing fine, persistent bubbles with vibrant acidity and a long, saline finish. Complex yet remarkably energetic, it captures both the richness of Meunier and the precision that has made Vincent Laval one of Champagne’s most notable producers.
Varietal: Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
Appellation: Cumières Premier Cru, Champagne, France
Farming: Biodynamic; low-intervention
Style: Sparkling. Brut Nature, textured, and mineral-driven
