Paul Launois Illustration Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Le Mesnil-sur-Oger MV
Chardonnay | France
$74.95 $80.00 - 750mL
The toasty yet crisp and elegant Illustration gives a Krug Clos du Mesnil-like experience for a song. Julien Launois' deft hand at selecting oak barrels for his single barrel program or for Illustration is evident in the overall balance of this wine. Disgorged in July of 2020 with just 3 grams per liter, this is a beautiful expression of grand cru chardonnay from the best place in Champagne to grow it.

About The Producer
Belonging to the Launois family for three generations, Champagne Jean Pierre Launois is today a winery that retains traditional values while evolving with the times. Jean Pierre Launois, with his son Julien, carry on the family tradition as stewards of the family vineyard, located in the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil sur Oger in the heart of the Cote des Blancs. In a great turning point of the family story, Julien and Sarah Launois have decided to become producers as well as growers. Their handmade cuvees are as delightful as they are rare. They also hand riddle and hand disgorge all their cuvees "A La Volee." They believe that Champagne is a product of luxury and quality, but also a vector of contacts and openness to the world. Anxious to keep this spirit, they will welcome you to the property to share with you their love of incredible wine. This is one place you truly must visit.
