Description
Champagne Laherte Frères Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature is a zero-dosage Chardonnay Champagne drawn from the family's chalkiest parcels around Chavot and Épernay.
Laherte Frères works from Chavot in the Coteaux Sud d'Épernay, a sector better known for Meunier, and this cuvée deliberately looks the other way, to Chardonnay grown on chalk and chalky clay marl with pockets of flint and schist. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically. Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs premier crus of Vertus and Voipreux has been added to the blend in recent releases. The current bottling is built on the low-yielding 2021 base with roughly half reserve wine from the two preceding years. Primary fermentation takes place in barrique, foudre and tronconique cask, after which the wine spends a little over two years on lees in bottle and is disgorged by hand with no dosage added. This double magnum will hold and develop more slowly than the standard bottle.
Drinking well now and with the structure to reward five to eight years in a cool cellar, it suits oysters, sashimi and salt-baked snapper. Serve at about 8°C.
