Description

The Making of Louis par Laure 2017 Louis Nicaise Champagne

The Louis par Laure 2017 cuvée was born from Laure Nicaise's ambition to pay tribute to her grandfather, the founder of the family estate. This champagne is a blend of 80% Chardonnay, bringing freshness and vivacity, and 20% Pinot Noir, which provides structure and elegance. The grapes come exclusively from the Premier Cru parcels of Hautvillers, benefiting from mineral-rich clay-limestone soils.

Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats, a method that preserves the purity and integrity of the aromas. Partial malolactic fermentation is carried out, adding complexity while maintaining a beautiful tension. After several months of resting in the cellar, this cuvée achieves a perfect balance between freshness and indulgence.

The 2017 Vintage

The year 2017 offered contrasting climatic conditions in Champagne. A cool and humid spring gave way to a hot and dry summer, marked by a heatwave in August. These conditions allowed for optimal ripening of the grapes, resulting in complex and balanced wines. The sunny harvests allowed for the collection of perfectly ripe berries, offering an authentic and generous expression of the terroir.
