Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass, it opens with a refined stream of fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is elegant and layered, offering citrus zest, green apple, white flowers, and a subtle chalky minerality that speaks clearly of its Champagne origins. On the palate, it feels fresh and lively, with bright acidity framing the fruit and a gentle creamy texture from extended lees contact adding depth and harmony. The finish is long, graceful, and persistent, with notes of ripe fruit and crisp citrus lingering. As a 2010 vintage Blanc de Blancs, it has the structure and complexity to continue developing well over time.

Production
Made exclusively from Chardonnay sourced from selected vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, this Champagne is rooted in one of the region’s most prized terroirs for the grape. The chalk-rich soils help shape its mineral character and precise acidity, while careful vineyard selection ensures finesse and concentration. Jean Laurent combines traditional Champagne methods with a restrained, quality-driven vinification approach to preserve freshness, elegance, and the distinctive character of the vintage.

Food & Serving
This Champagne is a natural fit as an aperitif, and it pairs especially well with delicate dishes such as fresh seafood, shellfish, sushi, or light poultry. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, to highlight its tension and aromatic detail. Decanting is not usually necessary, but allowing it a few minutes in the glass can help the more nuanced aromas open up.
