Vincent Laval only makes around 800 cases of Champagne. And that’s in a good year. In 2021, for example, Vincent made zero bottles of this 'Cumières', the core wine in their lineup. Fortunately, conditions improved in 2022. Laval’s pristine, tiny plots west of Epernay yielded a seriously delicious Champagne. While their single-site bottlings can cost 10x more, this offers a clear picture of Laval’s round, ‘wine-like’ style.

Here's what you should know about it:

This is a blend of Champagne’s 3 main grapes - chardonnay, pinot noir, and meunier - from Laval’s hometown of Cumières.
Farming is organic, vineyard work is handled by just four people (including Vincent Laval), and all plowing is done by horse.
Laval is sought-after by folks who enjoy the deep, complex style of Prévost and Egly-Ouriet. That, coupled with tiny production volume, means Laval’s wines always disappear soon after release.

This is our selection of the hard-to-find, ready-to-drink, sometimes well known, maybe obscure, and always limited wines we love most.
