Champagne Laherte Frères Ultradition 1.5L MAGNUM NV Base 16. Disg. Jan 2018

Champagne Laherte Frères Ultradition in magnum is the house's Pinot Meunier-led blend, bottled in the 1.5-litre format.

Ultradition is the cuvée Laherte Frères is best known for, made around Chavot in the Coteaux Sud d'Épernay from Pinot Meunier with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir alongside. Parcels are pressed and fermented separately, largely in used oak barrels with indigenous yeasts, and a large proportion of reserve wine drawn from a perpetual blend is added, which is what gives the wine its consistency from one base year to the next. It rests on lees in bottle for well beyond the required minimum and is disgorged with a low dosage; the base year and disgorgement date are printed on each bottle. Magnums are filled and aged in the same format they are sold in, and generally keep their freshness longer.

A format for a table rather than a glass, and worth cellaring. Serve at around 8°C with roast chicken, charcuterie or a mushroom risotto.
