Les Empreintes, meaning imprints, is one of the named cuvées Laherte Frères bottles from separately kept Chavot parcels, offering what the house calls the “quintessence of the Chavot terroir”. It is always a selection of the five best barrels from each of their two finest Chavot plots: old vine Chardonnay from Les Chemins d’Épernay, planted in 1957 on clay with chalky subsoils, around one third of the fruit the rare Chardonnay-Muscaté; and Pinot Noir from Les Rouges Maisons, planted in the late ’80s on a deep soil rich in clay, flint and schist. The wines are vinified separately and raised in old Burgundy oak. Disgorged in November 2025, the 2020 has had a substantial stay on its lees. Expect genuine depth and texture, balanced by crystalline freshness and a long, classy finish.
