Another beautiful champagne from the Launois family. A pale old gold color with nice perlage and intensity. Freshly baked bread and green apple aromas for days. Melons and white peaches with herbs for good measure. There’s an innate sense of lemon zest in the air that’s just magnificent.
Pure Grand Cru Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger. Four years of aging on lees gives this a resplendent and stately nature. Nice acidity and a superb mouthfeel, especially on the second day. Apples and chalk on the palate alongside vibrant citrus fruits. I struggle to think of a better value in Champagne than this. Stock up. — a month ago
Peach, brioche, and berries with a slight sweetness! Delicious with our Basque cheesecake. — 3 months ago
Therese Chris dinner our place. Well aged bottle with light golden color and a relaxed somewhat oxidative yeasty profile and long finish. — 4 months ago

Happy Heavenly Anniversary, Sofia. ❤️
We enjoyed a number of Launois over the years entertaining & celebrating. We even visited the property in 2005, I think 05. They have an amazing wine/champagne museum with all sorts of artifacts. Maybe, one of the best. It is extensive & large.
Sofia also loved clouds and photographed them often. — a month ago
