About this Item

2000 Blanc de Blancs
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

Launois Père & Fils is a renowned Champagne house located in the heart of the Côte des Blancs region in Champagne, France. The house was founded by Eugène Launois in the early 20th century and has since been passed down through generations of the Launois family. One of the distinguishing features of Launois Père & Fils is its focus on producing Champagne exclusively from Chardonnay grapes.

Blanc de Blancs Champagne is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, known for their vibrant acidity, finesse, and ability to express the nuances of their terroir. The Côte des Blancs region is particularly celebrated for its chalky soils, which contribute to the minerality and elegance of the wines produced there.

Critics Ratings

‘Pale gold. Creamy, woody nose (not oaky). Lightly charred toast. Driving across the palate, big but still focused on the crisp finish and honeyed aftertaste.’ - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Oct 2016)
