Champagne Laherte Frères
Blanc de Blancs

The Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature by Laherte Frères is a pure and essential expression of Chardonnay, crafted from the finest parcels of the estate. This Champagne is an ode to minerality and purity, thanks to a meticulous selection of grapes cultivated using natural methods and with the utmost respect for the ecosystem. The vines, with an average age of 35 years, take root in soils that enhance the complexity and finesse of the wine, bringing out its authentic character. The cuvée consists of 100% Chardonnay, with a significant contribution of 50% vin de réserve from previous vintages, aged in barrique to add structure and aromatic depth.

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo traditional pressing to preserve their freshness and varietal expression. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in small foudres and barriques, with regular batonnage to enhance the wine’s complexity. Malolactic fermentation is partially completed, ensuring a perfect balance between acidity and roundness. The wine is then aged on fine lees for 6 months, enriching its structure and adding depth to the palate. In line with the Maison’s philosophy, this Brut Nature Champagne receives no final dosage, with manual disgorgement (dégorgement à la volée) to highlight the terroir’s most authentic expression.

In tasting, the Blanc de Blancs displays a brilliant golden hue with fine effervescence. On the nose, it reveals an elegant and complex bouquet, featuring fresh citrus notes, green apple, and candied ginger, with hints of dried mango and a distinct mineral imprint reminiscent of chalk and its native soils. On the palate, it is tense and energetic, with vibrant freshness perfectly balanced by the partial malolactic fermentation. The finish is pure and sharp, with a long-lasting persistence that underscores its distinctive expression of terroir.

A Brut Nature Champagne that perfectly embodies the Maison Laherte Frères’ style, ideal for lovers of the most essential and mineral-driven expressions of Blanc de Blancs.
