Champagne Laculle Frères
The release of the 2018 single terroir vintages marks the debut release of the three Laculle Frères cuvées, Val Moignot , Bourdon and Bicheret. Guided by the philosophy of showcasing terroir, climate and, balance, these champagnes are created with a vision of finesse and enduring elegance, from each vintage to the next. Vinified in wood tanks and aged for at least 24 months on the lees, the champagnes are an expression of both the landscape we are blessed with and our interpretation of how we can best share them with the world.
Bicheret Pinot Noir Brut Nature
Composed entirely of Pinot Noir grapes from the 2018 harvest and the single plot Bicheret, characterized by clay-limestone soils on the Kimmeridigen bank in the village of Chervey, Côte des Bar.
Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in wood tank with ageing in the lees up to July 2019. Bottled using the traditional agrafe method during the second fermentation to continue with micro-oxygenation
This champagne is robed in pale gold with reflections of rose. This is led by train of persistent fine bubbles and an elegant creamy mousse. The nose reveals the fruitiness of Pinot Noir with notes of ripe strawberries, cherries, violets, hawthorn and licorice embellished with notes of vanilla and sweet spices. On the fleshy and fruity palate, we find notes of burlat cherry, pêche de vigne and quetsch. This is followed by toasted notes and hints of cherry seed.

Val Moignot Pinot Blanc, Cuvée James Barber Extra Brut
Hails from a single plot “Val Moignot” in the village of Meurville, on the Portlandien plateau characterized by clay-limestone soils. Composed of 100% Pinot Blanc, an emblematic grape of the Côte des Bar region, this champagne is made solely from the 2018 harvest.

Dressed in straw gold, the nose is greedy, expressing a certain sweetness revealing ripe white peach, Comice pear, yellow plum and basil leaf. Some vanilla notes reinforce this delicacy. The attack on the palate is frank, textural, fleshy and thirst-quenching. The flesh of the vine peach dominates and blends with a light woodiness. The very pleasant mouth continues on white fruits associated with Sicilian lemon.
To be enjoyed as an aperitif but also with a sea bass or sea bream tartare, with a scallop ceviche or raw fish.
