This is a stellar set of wines from Vincent Laval. Old vines and a non-interventionalist approach in both the vineyards and cellar yield stark, deeply expressive Champagnes that marry density of fruit with the intensely mineral style that is such a signature of Cumières, where all of the vineyards for the top wines are located. This year, the Brut Nature Les Chênes (2014) is especially of note, as is Laval’s newest creation, the 2012 Brut Nature Les Longues Violes. I also tasted a few older Champagnes, and have included notes on those wines here for reference.
