Producer Profile
Paul Launois
Belonging to the Launois family for three generations, Champagne Jean Pierre Launois is today a winery that retains traditional values while evolving with the times. Jean Pierre Launois, with his son Julien, carry on the family tradition as stewards of the family vineyard, located in the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil sur Oger in the heart of the Cote des Blancs. In a great turning point of the family story, Julien and Sarah Launois have decided to become producers as well as growers.
Their handmade cuvees are as delightful as they are rare. In 2013, they acquired a wine building in the heart of Mesnil sur Oger. They carry out the renovation themselves and finally make their first harvest in 2015. They vinify in stainless steel vats and in barrels, experiment, blend, taste ... and from this same passion for champagne is born the "Champagne Paul Launois". The farm works with respect for the environment. No chemical input has been applied to the vine for many years.
The vines are naturally grassed in winter, and in summer the soil is ploughed. The cuvées are also worked with the same intention: to limit inputs, handling and energy consumption. They also hand riddle and hand disgorge all their cuvees "A La Volee." They believe that Champagne is a product of luxury and quality, but also a vector of contacts and openness to the world. Anxious to keep this spirit, they will welcome you to the property to share with you their love of incredible wine.
