Champagne Louis de Chatet

Champagne Launay: A Family Story, a Committed Terroir, Exceptional Cuvées

In the serene light of the Sézannais region, the Launay estate has cultivated, since 1973, a unique approach to champagne rooted in family, precision and respect for nature. Three united brothers, three complementary personalities… and one shared vision: crafting sincere, elegant champagnes that remain true to their terroir.

A Vineyard Between the Marne and the Côte des Bar

The vineyard stretches across 14 hectares, two-thirds in the Marne and one-third in the Côte des Bar. These two areas offer very distinct profiles:

• In the Marne: chalky soils that provide finesse and tension,
• In the Côte des Bar: clay-limestone soils that bring roundness and depth.

This balance allows the Launay family to create expressive, harmonious champagnes capable of pleasing both casual enthusiasts and the most refined palates.

The Heritage of a Family House

For more than fifty years, the Launay family has committed itself to producing champagnes that respect both their land and their history. Their philosophy is simple: “Quality over quantity”.

Harvesting is done exclusively by hand. Vinification follows the strict rules of the traditional Champagne method. Ageing takes place in the calm of the cellar, allowing the wines to reach full maturity.

The estate is also firmly committed to preserving its soils:

• No chemical fertilizers,
• Carefully selected phytosanitary products,
• Certified Sustainable Viticulture and HVE Level 3 — the highest French environmental distinctions.

This sustainable approach is not marketing — it is a deep-rooted conviction, carried by a united family moving forward with purpose.

Louis de Chatet: The Signature of the Estate’s Finest Cuvées

To showcase their expertise and offer a more ambitious collection, the Launay family created the Louis de Chatet brand — a range of exceptional champagnes where each cuvée expresses a distinct style, emotion and personality.

Here are the flagship cuvées:

• Cuvée Émotion – A vibrant, precise champagne combining freshness and finesse.
• Cuvée Harmonie – Balanced and ample, a cuvée as smooth and seamless as its name suggests.
• Cuvée Séduction – Charming, elegant and generously aromatic.
• Cuvée Signature – The pure expression of the Louis de Chatet style: refined, distinctive and crafted with care.
• Cuvée Singulier – A champagne with a strong personality, shaped by a specific terroir. A rare cuvée for adventurous wine lovers.

A House Turned Toward the Future, Rooted in Its Values

Through their work, the Launay brothers cultivate a clear vision: let the land speak, respect the seasons, elevate the grape. Their family cohesion guides their decisions and gives life to authentic champagnes built with patience and passion.

The Launay estate is the meeting point of a terroir, a human adventure and a savoir-faire passed down with humility and precision.
