Les Chênes 2020 stands out with its pale yellow colour with raw highlights and fine, subtle bubbles. The nose offers lively citrus fruits, lemon, grapefruit, green apple and white flowers, with a delicate hint of chalk and light brioche. On the palate, the attack is lively, with crisp acidity bringing freshness and chalky minerality providing precise structure. The texture remains straightforward, taut and lively. The long, salty finish evokes wet stone, citrus zest and elegant mineral purity – a pure, racy and highly refined blanc de blancs...

More details...

Les Chênes 2020 is a 100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs from a single plot located in the "Les Chênes" area, east of the village of Cumières in the Marne Valley, a steep, well-exposed hillside on limestone subsoil covered with a thin layer of silt and clay, which gives the grapes concentration and minerality.

The viticulture is organic, respectful of the soil, with manual harvesting. In the cellar, vinification is carried out with indigenous yeasts, without filtration or fining, and with very little sulphur. The wine is aged in neutral oak barrels for around 8 to 10 months, then aged on lees for at least 40 months before disgorging. No dosage is added, as it is a Brut Nature.

This very pure style, direct expression of the limestone terroir and sustained minerality make Les Chênes 2020 a champagne of great precision with excellent ageing potential, embodying Georges Laval's spirit of "terroir & finesse".
