Sourced from the exceptional “Les Hautes Chevres” vineyard in the Côtes des Blancs, Georges Laval’s 2019 Blanc de Noirs is a remarkable expression of Pinot Noir, showcasing the depth and complexity that a single-vineyard Champagne can offer. With minimal intervention and a focus on showcasing the unique terroir, this Champagne highlights the pure expression of the fruit and the vineyard’s distinctive characteristics.

The 2019 vintage opens with aromas of ripe red fruit—strawberry, cherry—complemented by subtle brioche and a hint of toast from extended lees aging. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with fine, persistent bubbles and a creamy texture that adds richness. The minerality from the vineyard is evident, providing balance and depth, while the bright acidity lifts the fruit and adds freshness. The finish is long and clean, with lingering red fruit, a touch of almond, and a mineral edge that reflects the terroir of “Les Hautes Chevres.”

Ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, charcuterie, or truffle-infused dishes, this Champagne offers versatility and elegance. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for further development, Georges Laval’s 2019 Blanc de Noirs “Les Hautes Chevres” is a beautifully crafted, terroir-driven Champagne that showcases the best of what the Côtes des Blancs can offer.

Vincent Laval's family has been in the village of Cumières for as long as the village started keeping records hundreds of years ago. Laval’s two hectares are in Cumières on the northern bank of the Marne, just a few kilometers west of Épernay. The vineyards face south/southeast, and receive ample sun exposure. Cumières is generally the first village in Champagne to ripen. Though Cumières is considered part of the Montagne de Reims, it’s right on the cusp of the Vallée de Marne, which means that Pinot Meunier also finds a home here.

Georges Laval converted the vineyards to organic in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Vincent’s approach in the cellar is hands off: base wines ferment spontaneously in neutral barrel, and are treated with minimal sulfur. Laval bottles quite late, which means that he’s essentially made a finished wine before second fermentation begins. The wines are, almost without exception, bottled Brut Nature; however the ripeness of the terroir in conjunction with impeccable farming mean that these wines find exquisite balance without dosage.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
