Winemaking: In 2020, grapes were harvested by hand and fermented with indigenous yeast. This made up 60% of the final wine. The remaining 40% came from reserves. Aged in a combination of barrels and tanks. Re-fermented in bottle (traditional method sparkling wine). 22 months in bottle. Small dosage. Minimal use of sulphur.
This Wine: A magnum of rich and complex Champagne with floral, lemon and chalky notes. Great by itself but also a versatile pairing option.
Notes on the Winemaker: The Laherte brothers Thierry and Christian brought Thierry's son Aurélien on board in 2002 and he now heads up the winery making him the seventh generation to do so. He is part of the new wave of Champagne producers focussing on natural winemaking and he only uses fungicides when absolutely necessary but prefers biodynamic practices.
