Episode 1: Champagne Paul Launois and the Single Barrel Project

In this episode, I am going to introduce you to Julien Launois, who together with this wife Sarah have become one of the most innovative grower-producers in Champagne today.  Champagne Paul Launois is a love story,  a love for each other, and a love of wine and art. Together they followed images they saw in their imaginations rather than that well-paved path everyone else does. And it shows in the Champagnes they produce.This is the inside story behind his single barrel project.  The Single Barrel Project consists of producing unique champagnes each year while creating a special relationship with wine lovers who participate in developing their vintage grand cru parcel. He is the man behind Thomas Keller’s newest and exclusive Blanc de Blanc at the French Laundry.
