Laherte Freres Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs NV

Country: France

Region: Champagne

Type: Champagne

Grape: Chardonnay 

Aurélien Laherte’s current release of Blanc de Blancs non-vintage Brut Nature comes from limestone soils in Chavot and Epernay, from the superb base year of 2015, with half of the blend coming from reserve wines from the previous two years.

This organic Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature is lovely, with notes of pear, apple, a touch of almond, and a gently smoky top note. On the palate, the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and beautifully balanced, with good acids, elegant mousse and impressive length on the finish. Aurélien Laherte picks his grapes at greater ripeness level for this bottling, which gives excellent depth of the fruit and buffers the acids in this non-dosé wine.
