Description

Sourced from biodynamically-grown Chardonnay from the slopes south of Epernay, Aurelien Laherte has crafted an intense, bell-ringer of a Champagne.

There is no-dosage but this isn't an acid bomb - it is fruit-rich, with a chalky undertone, and even a touch of fennelly spice on the finish. Based on 2016 vintage but with a large percentage of reserve wine in the blend.

Left us High and Dry, as Radiohead and Different Drop might sing, but we croon in happiness.

93 Points - “One of the many highlights in this range, the NV Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs is pure class. Tension, energy and mineral-drenched drive are the signatures. Chalk, slate white pepper and citrus notes open up in the glass, but it is the wine’s crystalline precision and purity that are front and center. Underlying beams of salinity lend further drive to the intense, salivating finish. The Blanc de Blancs is fermented in barrel with some lees stirring, but partially blocked malolactic fermentation and bottling with no dosage preserves a good bit of sizzle.” - Antonio Galloni (Vinous)

    great grower fizz

    Dry, classy champagne. Always reliable.

Jean-Baptiste Laherte set up the family estate in 1889, planting most of the vines in the village of Chavost, which was to become Chavot.

The estate gradually grew over generations, and covers today over 11 hectares through the Champagne region. The sixth and seventh generations are now working together to create wines that are just like them - pure, sincere and authentic. They share their experience and combine their efforts to make the most of this beautiful heritage. Since 2005, Aurélien Laherte - the seventh generation - has been giving a new dimension to the estate, while following in the footsteps of his father Thierry and his uncle Christian, the Laherte brothers. Passionately, they promote the family’s values and continue to bring the best out of the terroir.
