Why shop with us?
Champagne Jean Laurent Blanc de Noirs Magnum is a richly textured, Pinot Noir-driven Champagne with impressive depth, elegance, and charm. Coming from a producer known for working especially well with Pinot Noir, it delivers a level of complexity and class that stands out well beyond its price point. This is a bottle that reflects both the character of the grape and the growing reputation of Jean Laurent in Champagne.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the fuller, more generous style of Blanc de Noirs, with a refined and serious presence. The nose brings ripe cherry, quince, licorice, vanilla, and a subtle leather note, creating an aromatic profile that feels both expressive and polished.
On the palate, those same flavors continue with good concentration and a smooth, elegant structure. There is notable length and persistence here, with a finish that outperforms expectations and suggests the wine can hold its appeal well over time, especially in magnum format.
Production
Produced in Champagne, France, this non-vintage cuvée is made primarily from Pinot Noir, with many of Jean Laurent’s vineyards planted to this variety. The estate’s focus on Pinot Noir gives the wine its depth, body, and distinctive Blanc de Noirs character, likely supported by traditional Champagne vinification methods that preserve freshness while building complexity.
Food & Serving
This is a versatile Champagne that can be enjoyed with a wide range of dishes, from poultry and charcuterie to richer seafood, mushroom dishes, and even lighter game. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8-10°C, and consider brief aeration in the glass rather than decanting, which is generally not necessary for Champagne.
Producer
Champagne Jean Laurent is a respected grower-producer in Champagne with a particular strength in Pinot Noir. The estate has gained increasing attention from wine critics for its ability to craft wines with character, richness, and elegance at very appealing value. Its growing reputation is built on thoughtful vineyard work and a clear sense of identity in the region.
