Paul Launois 'Contraste' Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut, Champagne, France NV

“Contraste” Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut is a beautifully characterful grower Champagne made from 100% Pinot Meunier. Offering a different perspective on Champagne, it combines vibrant freshness with generous fruit and an appealing savory edge. Aromas of yellow apple, ripe pear and stone fruit mingle with delicate floral notes, while the palate delivers lively bubbles, elegant texture and a subtle saline finish. A portion of the wine is fermented in oak, adding depth without overwhelming its freshness. Dry, expressive and refreshingly individual, Contraste is an excellent choice for Champagne lovers looking beyond the usual Chardonnay-led bottlings.
