Champagne Laherte Frères Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature 1.5L MAGNUM NV Base 18. Disg. Oct 2021

Laherte Frères' Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature is a Chardonnay Champagne from the family's chalkiest biodynamic soils at Chavot and Épernay, bottled in magnum.

This bottling is based on the 2018 harvest with a substantial fifty per cent of reserve wines from the two preceding years. All the fruit is Chardonnay from the Côteaux Sud d'Épernay, where the vineyards are biodynamically farmed and the soils are rich in chalk and chalky marl with pockets of flint and schist. The chalk is what drives the saline, racy line of the wine, while the clay component supplies the fruit weight and texture that keep it in balance. Primary fermentation takes place in barrique, foudre and tronconique cask, after which the wine spends a little over two years in bottle. Like every Laherte Champagne it is disgorged by hand, and as the name says it is bottled without dosage, so nothing softens the chalk.

Drinking now and holding well for five years or more in this format. Serve at about 8°C with oysters, ceviche or grilled whiting.
