Jean-Pierre Launois Tradition Brut NV

This is all about chance encounters: MS Des Echaverrie was staying at an AirBnB in Champagne – the host just happened to make fantastic champagne that Des now imports. We were out and about and bumped into Des and winemaker Julien pouring this wine. We too fell in love: so fresh, floral, and attractive, with aromas of green apples, mushrooms, almonds, cream, and yoghurt. Dangerously drinkable.
