Viticulture in this area dates back to the fifth century and has always been renown for Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The tiny vineyard owned by the Launois family for several generations is less than one hectare total in size. The base wine for this inaugural bottling of Contraste is comprised entirely from 2019 vintage. The wines are fermented in a combination of stainless steel and used barrels and undergo complete malolactic fermentation before assemblage and bottling. Resting for two years on the lees provides for a beautifully rich texture beforehand riddling takes place over a 3–4-week period prior to disgorgement. The nose is high-toned and powerful with botanicals and white flowers, leading into an abundant palate that expresses tart yellow fruit and finishes with a lingering salinity that exudes precision and purity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IWS","offers":[{"title":"750mL \/ 6 \/ NV","offer_id":45620228554948,"sku":"133270","price":461.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/3538\/5028\/files\/champagne-paul-launois-brut-blanc-de-noirs-contraste-750ml-6-nv-wine-209.webp?v=1766475644","url":"https:\/\/www.grandwinecellar.com\/products\/champagne-paul-launois-champagne-brut-blanc-de-noirs-contraste","provider":"Grand Wine Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
