Notes from Polaner Selections:

"Blend of 60% Meunier, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir, 40% of which are reserve wines, from selected parcels in seven villages in the Côteaux sud d’Epernay, Côte des Blancs and Vallée de la Marne. Primary fermentation takes places in a combination of foudres (20%) tank (20%) and barrel (60%) with regular lees stirring. The wine goes through partial malolactic fermentation and is dosed at 6-8 gr/l. It is a fine and complex blend that is perfect as an aperitif.

Thanks in large part to the extraordinary work of Aurélien Laherte and his family since 1889, heads are turning toward the village of Chavot in the Côteaux Sud d’Epernay, a sub-region sandwiched between the Côtes des Blancs and the Vallée de la Marne.

As a meticulous vinifier and a devoted practitioner of organic and biodynamic viticulture, Aurélien strives to produce a lineup of blended and single-vineyard Champagnes that deeply expresses the identities of his unique terroirs.

The vibrant, energetic and racy profile of the Laherte Frères Champagnes has earned them a reputations as one of the most progressive and dynamic grower-producers in the region."
