Tasting Notes
This super-mineral Champagne is 100% Chardonnay from the family's chalkiest soils in Chavot and Épernay. These vineyards are biodynamically farmed, and the soil is rich in chalk and chalky clay (marl), with pockets of flint and schist. It’s the chalkiness that drives the wine’s striking, racy and intensely saline minerality—that energy, freshness and zingy, citric line—while the clay provides balancing fruit weight and texture.
Based on perfectly ripe fruit, the Brut Nature is a blend of two vintages, and includes up to 50% reserve wines. As the name suggests, it’s bottled without dosage. Aged for just over two years in bottle following a primary fermentation in barrique, foudre and tronconique cask, like all Laherte’s Champagne this was disgorged by hand.
More than ever it’s stunning value for those who love purity and minerality in their Blanc de Blancs. The new release is wonderfully fine-boned, with exceptional texture and penetrating focus. - Importer Note
Laherte Frères is a grower-producer based in Chavot, just south of Épernay, with a family history dating back to 1889. Today the estate is run by Aurélien Laherte, representing the seventh generation, who has elevated the domaine into one of Champagne’s most respected artisanal houses. The family farms around 10 hectares across the Côteaux Sud d’Épernay, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs, working primarily with Chardonnay, Meunier and Pinot Noir.
Viticulture is organic and increasingly biodynamic, with meticulous attention paid to vineyard health and soil vitality. In the cellar, Aurélien favours native fermentations, partial ageing in oak, and low dosage, crafting Champagnes that are expressive, terroir-driven and full of energy. The range spans crystalline blanc de blancs, precise single-parcel bottlings and Meunier-focused cuvées that highlight the diversity of their holdings.
Laherte Frères has become renowned for its purity, vibrancy and individuality, embodying the new generation of Champagne growers who combine tradition with a fearless, thoughtful approach to innovation.
