This is 2017 base with a significant 50% of reserve wines from the two previous vintages. It was disgorged in November 2019. This super-mineral Champagne is 100% Chardonnay from the family's chalkiest soils in Chavot and Épernay—both sites are biodynamically farmed. These vineyards are not only rich in chalk and chalky clay (marl) but there is also flint and schist. It’s the ‘chalkiness’ however that drives the wine’s striking, racy, intensely saline minerality (energy, freshness) and zingy, citric lines, while the clay content gives balancing fruit weight and texture. It has also been aged for just over two years in bottle following a first fermentation in barrique, foudre and tronconique cask. Like all Laherte's Champagne, this was disgorged by hand. Stunning value for those who love purity and minerality in their Blanc de Blancs.
