Laherte Freres Les Meulieres Coteaux Champenois 2020

13% abv

Vol- 75cl

Earthy strawberry character, together with, smoky and typical leafy notes of the Pinot Meunier. Subtle coffee ground flavours on the finish.

De-stemmig and short maceration (about ten days). Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation followed by ageing on fine lees for 18 months in barrels of 3 to 8 years old. This Laherte Coteaux Champenois is made from Pinot Meunier to highlight its diversity and aromatic complexity. Aurelien’s aim is to preserve the fruitiness of the variety and the freshness of the limestone terroir. The vineyard is in the village of Moussy – Coteaux Sud d’Epernay with a full southern exposure. .

Laherte Frères was founded in the nineteenth century with current winemaker Aurélien representing the 7th Generation. They own nine hectares of land spread over ten communes and an astonishing seventy different parcels. Vineyards are currently farmed biodynamically or are in the process of conversion. The family holdings are mainly located around Épernay, nearby Chavot (where the winery is located), Moussy and Vaudancourt. In addition, they own parcels in the Côte des Blancs and the Marne Valley. They cultivate all three main varieties with Pinot Meunier very well represented as one would expect given the local terroir. Primary ferments are mostly in wood - small barrels and foudres - with only partial malolactic and 6 months lees aging before secondary ferment. Dosage is kept low and each wine is carefully crafted to see the varieties used best exploit the estate’s patchwork of fine terroir. “These Champagnes reinforce my strongly held view that Aurélien Laherte is one of the most talented vignerons of his generation in Champagne. The range this year is truly stellar. Readers who have not tasted these Champagnes owe it to themselves do so. Aurélien Laherte is young, passionate and humble. It is only a matter of time before he is recognized as one of Champagne’s elite vignerons. As for the wines, they are spectacular”. Antonio Galloni, Vinous
