NV Georges Laval Garennes Extra Brut

Disgorged 4/7/22 Garennes is a multi-vintage solera type blend featuring Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir & Chardonnay from the villages of Chambrecy, Damery, Cumières & Hautvillers. This ongoing blend is then blended with at least 50% of the current vintage base wine from the same plots and varietals.

From Peter Liem: "This tiny, impeccably-run estate in Cumières is known only to a select few connoisseurs of champagne. You could drive through the village a hundred times without knowing it was there, and in fact, aside from a well-worn, barely legible placard with the words “Champagne Georges Laval” written in about three millimeter-high script just above the doorbell, there is no marking whatsoever to indicate its presence. Behind these simple, unassuming wooden doors, however, lies one of Champagne’s great treasures."
