Champagne Paul Launois
monochrome #6 Magnum

The Champagne Monochrome #6 by Paul Launois is a Blanc de Blancs made from 100% Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from the Grand Cru vineyards of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, in the most renowned area of the Côte des Blancs. The base of the cuvée is composed of 70% from the 2020 harvest and 30% vin de réserve, ensuring depth and stylistic continuity. Vinification takes place mainly in stainless steel tanks, with spontaneous fermentation and the natural completion of malolactic fermentation. After tirage, the wine ages on the lees for 24 months, before receiving a final dosage of 2 g/l, placing it in the Extra Brut category. This technical choice reflects the desire to express the purity of the grape variety and the transparency of the terroir without compromise.

On the palate, Monochrome #6 reveals a fresh and saline character, perfectly aligned with the chalky and mineral soul of the Côte des Blancs. The fine and persistent mousse supports a balanced structure, combining tension and elegance with remarkable precision.

Champagne Paul Launois

Located in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Côte des Blancs Grand Cru village, a couple of passionate winemakers, Julien Launois with his wife Sarah took the family Domaine in 2010, and after a renovation of the property, they do their first harvest in 2015, creating their own Champagne brand in honour of their son Paul Launois.

Among their cuvées, obtained from just 6 hectares of vineyards all planted with Chardonnay, the most surprising experiment concerns the "Single Barrel", a limited edition of ten custom-made Champagnes, vinified in oak barrels produced directly by the "Tonnellerie Artigianale de Champagne" with a different degree of toasting, from the lightest to the strongest. The aim is to create annually unique Champagne, depending on the type of barrel used.

Paul Launois Champagnes, fully express the identity of the chalky and mineral terroir of the prestigious Côte des Blancs. Balance, freshness and the finesse of its aromas are the hallmarks of the classic range, to which exceptional woody and toasted aromas are added for the "Single Barrel" range.
