Launois "Oeil de Perdrix" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 04/2026
This is Champagne with a quiet kind of allure—the color of rose gold at sunset and a perfume that feels almost nostalgic. Notes of wild strawberry, blood orange, and toasted almond drift from the glass, joined by whispers of chalk and cream. On the palate, it moves gracefully between richness and restraint: bright, delicate bubbles carrying flavors of red fruit, pastry, and a touch of spice. It’s the sort of bottle that invites you to slow down and savor. Elegant but never showy, deeply charming without effort—Launois reminds us that beauty in Champagne doesn’t always need to shout.

Notes
The Launois "Oeil de Perdrix" Brut Champagne is a blanc de noir of Pinot Noir comes from the Chantmerle vineyard in the village of Sézanne proper and is fermented entirely in enamel lined steel tanks. The name means “partridges’ eye” and refers to the very short maceration the juice gets with the skins, giving it a blush that is more golden than pink. The bouquet reminds me of a great panettone; not only does it have buttery bread aromas, but also dried red fruits and roasted nuts. In the mouth it is round and trop facile à boire, too easy to drink but the finish is dry and long. This is a great champagne on its own but will also go very well with salmon! -Gary Westby, K&L
