Cuvée Louis par Laure 2011 from Louis Nicaise is a champagne for aperitifs, full of freshness and vivacity.
This cuvée is crafted by Laure Nicaise, granddaughter of the house's founder, to whom it pays homage. She has chosen each parcel that will go into the composition of this cuvée.
Louis par Laure 2011 is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir. The latter brings structure to the freshness and vivacity of the former.
Louis par Laure is a highly expressive cuvée. These aromas are the result of a quest for ripeness during the harvest, and of plots where the vines have a moderate yield.
This champagne has a beautiful golden color with green highlights.
The nose immediately reveals greedy, brioche notes, followed by notes of ripe fruit.
On the palate, it's the minerality that stands out, with a chiselled attack, followed by a mid-palate of Pinot substance. On the finish, we find the Hautvillers chardonnay, with citrus notes and a saline signature.
An excellent aperitif cuvée.
