Laherte Freres Blanc De Blancs Brut Nature Jeroboam 3L

D&M NOTES (MK):

TASTING: This is a Grower Blanc De Blancs Brut Nature with a bit of texture and weight, in all likelihood as it is made up of 50% 2015 with the remaining balance from 2014 and 2013. The nose is focused and clean with an aroma set of mixed citrus- lemon zest and pink grapefruit and chalky minerality. The palate is light with presence balanced with a core of white stone minerality with fruit notes of lemon, lime, and pear. Delightful Blanc de Blancs.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Aurélien Laherte is part of a dynamic generation of young vignerons making waves in Champagne and producing a fine array of terroir-driven wines using a natural approach to viticulture and winemaking. Along with his high school friend Raphael Bereche – another star in the region - Aurélien founded the “Terres et Vins” collective of producers back in 2009. This group taps some of Champagne’s more progressive and like-minded producers, including Agrapart, Marie-Courtin, Vincent Laval, Benoit Lahaye, among others. Each spring, the group holds a tasting in Champagne to showcase both the vins clairs of the previous harvest as well as their actual bubbly versions.
