Laherte Fréres - Ultradition Extra-Brut
Dubbed “just impeccable, especially within its peer group” by Galloni, Laherte’s Meunier-led house blend is from eight different parcels across the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay and Vallée de la Marne. The blend of 60% Meunier, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir represents the diversity of the estate’s plantings. Some 40% of the blend is drawn from the two preceding vintages. The juice naturally fermented in a mixture of vessels, including two 50-hectolitre Rousseau tronconique casks, old barrels, foudre and concrete. Regardless of vessel, the wines are always aged on lees, and there is partial malolactic conversion (around 60-70% on average). Based on the 2022 vintage with 40% reserve wines from 2021 and 2020, this bottling was disgorged with a dosage of 4.5 g/L (extra brut.).
