Aurore & Florian Laval - Dreamlike Meunier-Driven Bubbles Just Arrived
🍾我哋新到貨嘅香檳來自Champagne Aurore & Florian Laval，係來自Boursault嘅小農香檳，展現Vallee de la Marne風土，優雅而有深度——非常值得試試。
正如Florian總結：「我哋嘅香檳用三個字概括🥂：Meunier、懷舊、夢幻。」這些酒透過熟悉的香氣喚起童年回憶，同時呈現精緻的精準感。
👫姐弟Aurore同Florian同於2019年接管家族酒莊，延續父親Michel Laval自1979年起自家釀酒裝瓶的傳統，並於2020年推出自家系列，呈現更個人化、精緻的風格。Aurore負責葡萄園管理，Florian負責酒窖。他們的6.5公頃葡萄園分佈九個地塊，位於Marne河上方的白堊黏土-石灰岩土壤，帶有沙質夾層——風土完美平衡豐滿與張力，非常適合70% Pinot Meunier、28% Pinot Noir 及 2% Chardonnay。
採用可持續種植（lutte raisonnée逐步轉向有機、天然生草、堆肥、分地塊手工採收），結合最少干預的釀酒方式：輕柔處理、分地塊單獨發酵、一半橡木桶一半不鏽鋼發酵、長時間酒渣陳釀、低劑量，以保留生動的果味與精準度——一切遵循他們的理念：☺️讓時間打磨結構、讓風土清楚表達、讓果味保持純淨。
‘Symposium’ Blanc de Noirs：層次豐富嘅柑橘、紅莓、細膩花香，配奶油質感——優雅而易入口。
‘Ut Prius’：充滿張力，白花、木瓜、檸檬皮、鹹礦物——純淨而精準。
🍾Our new arrival wines from Champagne Aurore & Florian Laval, a grower estate in Boursault, offer authentic, terroir-driven Vallee de la Marne Champagne with elegance and depth—well worth exploring for grower Champagne enthusiasts.
As Florian sums it up: “Our champagne in three words🥂: Meunier, nostalgic, and dreamlike.” These bottles stir childhood memories through familiar aromas while delivering refined precision.
👫Siblings Aurore and Florian took over their family domaine in 2019, continuing Michel Lavel ’s estate bottling legacy from 1979. They introduced their own label in 2020 for a personal, refined take. Aurore oversees the vineyards; Florian the cellar. Their 6.5 hectares span nine parcels on chalky clay-limestone soils with sandy pockets above the Marne River—terroir balancing generosity and tension, perfect for 70% Pinot Meunier, 28% Pinot Noir, and 2% Chardonnay.
Eco-responsible viticulture (lutte raisonnée converting to organic, natural grassing, compost, parcel-by-parcel hand harvest) meets minimal-intervention winemaking: gentle handling, separate parcel vinification, half-oak/half-steel fermentation, extended lees ageing, and low dosage to preserve vibrant fruit and precision—all guided by their philosophy: ☺️let time polish structure, let terroir speak clearly, and let the fruit remain pure.
‘Symposium’ Blanc de Noirs offers layered citrus, red berries, subtle florals, and creamy texture—elegant and approachable.
‘Ut Prius’ delivers crystalline tension with white flowers, quince, lemon zest, and saline minerality—pure and precise.
