Champagne Laherte Frères Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature 1.5L MAGNUM NV Base 19. Disg. Oct 2022

Champagne Laherte Frères Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature is released here in magnum, a format that slows the wine's development in bottle.

Laherte Frères draws this Blanc de Blancs entirely from Chardonnay on the family's chalkiest soils in Chavot and Épernay, with the more recent addition of fruit from the Côte des Blancs premiers crus of Vertus and Voipreux. The vineyards are biodynamically farmed and sit on chalk and chalky clay marl with pockets of flint and schist. The chalk drives the racy, intensely saline minerality and the citric line the wine is known for, while the clay balances it out with fruit weight and texture. Primary fermentation takes place in barrique, foudre and tronconique cask, and the wine is aged a little over two years in bottle, with forty per cent reserve wine from the two preceding harvests. As the name indicates, no dosage is added at all, and each bottle is disgorged by hand.

A magnum of zero-dosage Champagne is a long-haul proposition; drink now or cellar for years. Serve at around 8°C with oysters, roast turbot or a hard cheese.
