Champagne Georges Laval Cuvèe Les Chenes Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature 2012

Georges Laval

This is a small domaine with only 2,5 hectares, and it is organicly farmed since 1971 (it\'s even in byodynamy for a while), and given the record in this regard elsewhere in Champagne (and the difficult weather conditions), that is quite exceptional. Before that time, the family was selling the grapes to the négoce. The village of Cumières is only 5 kilometers west of Epernay, and it sits right down the slope with the Abbaye d\'Hauvillers at the top of the hill surrounded with woods. Vincent Laval has followed his father\'s steps and he keeps doing an artisan work on the tiny vineyard surface, working mostly in a way. His wines are unchaptalized (chaptalization is widespread over here) and are vinified in casks. The annual production here is about 10 000 bottles a year, not even a drop compared to the yearly output in Champagne : 323 million bottles in 2012. The yields on Vincent\'s vineyards are also much lower than the norm in Champagne which is 92 hectoliters/hectare.
