Champagne Laherte Frères Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature NV Base 21 Disg. Apr 2024

Champagne Laherte Frères Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature is 100 per cent Chardonnay from the family's chalkiest biodynamically farmed sites, bottled with no dosage.

Laherte Frères draws this cuvée from Chardonnay at Chavot and Épernay, the chalkiest ground the family holds in the Coteaux Sud d'Épernay, farmed biodynamically. The soils are rich in chalk and chalky clay marl with pockets of flint and schist; the chalk supplies the racy, saline mineral drive and the clay balances it with fruit weight and texture. Recent additions of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs premiers crus of Vertus and Voipreux have lifted the quality further. This bottling is based on the 2021 harvest with 50 per cent reserve wine from the two preceding years. Primary fermentation takes place in barrique, foudre and tronconique cask, after which the wine spends just over two years in bottle. Like all Laherte Champagnes it was disgorged by hand, in April 2024, and no dosage was added.

Drink now or hold a few years, with oysters, sashimi or a fresh goat's cheese. Serve at around 8 degrees.
