The Wine

This mineral-charged Champagne is 100% Chardonnay from the family's chalkiest soils in Chavot and Épernay. These vineyards are biodynamically farmed, and the soil is rich in chalk and chalky clay (marl), with pockets of flint and schist. Côteaux Sud d’Épernay & Côte des Blancs; barrel-raised vins clairs; zero dosage. Hand disgorged and built around the 2022 vintage base with 40% reserve wines from the previous two vintages.

Cellared Says

Salty, racy and bone-dry—a somm favourite that flies off lists. Perfect as a price-friendly luxury Champagne with authentic grower pedigree. Mineral, tension, but still with autolytic brichoe and Chardy driven lemon pith and jasmine notes. Gorgeous.

Wine Reviews

The NV Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs is wonderfully precise and nuanced, sourced from the southern slopes of Épernay and the Côte des Blancs. Crushed rocks, lemon peel, mint, white pepper and bright saline notes all run through this super-expressive, taut Blanc de Blancs. This is classic Laherte. No dosage. Disgorged: April 2023.”
