Laherte Freres Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature Champagne

Sculptured and energetic with a dry, tense finish.

100% Chardonnay Champagne from the Laherte family's chalkiest soils in Chavot and Épernay. These vineyards are all biodynamically farmed and are not only rich in chalk and chalky clay (marl) but there is also flint and schist. It has been aged for just over two years in bottle following a first fermentation in barrique, foudre and tronconique cask. No dosage. A creamy white mousse sits gracefully above a pale straw coloured base that’s finely threaded by a very persistent bead. Pronounced pear and citrus aromas stand out from the glass with baked bread and yeast lees characters then taking over. Finishes off with some lightly honeyed toast notes. Sculptured mouthfeel with energetic acidity racing through the elegant yeast lees, toast and citrus flavours. Some light brioche and almond nuances are also evident. Finishes bone dry, tense and crisp with a refined citrus, oily toast, yeast lees and chalk tinged aftertaste.
Alc. 12.5%

Other Reviews….
A restrained and minerally wine with aromas of chalk, stones, lemon peel, butter and oyster shells. Medium-bodied with pinprick bubbles, zesty acidity, precise extraction and a silky texture. Disgorged March 2026. Drink or hold.

Coming from the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay, the NV Champagne Blanc De Blancs Brut Nature is based on 2023 with 50% reserve wines from the previous three vintages. Bright pale yellow in color, it offers white pineapple, lemon pith, chalky earth, wet stone, and white peach. Medium-bodied, it is appealing and delicately fruity, with a little more juiciness than in the past while retaining focus, a fine mousse, and a pleasing touch of spice and fresh bread on the finish. Somewhat shy and understated today, it should continue to open with time in bottle. Drink 2026-2036.
