This super-mineral Champagne is 100% Chardonnay from the Laherte family's chalkiest soils in Chavot and Épernay. These vineyards are biodynamically farmed, and the soil is rich in chalk and chalky clay (marl), with pockets of flint and schist. It’s the chalkiness that drives the wine’s striking, racy and intensely saline minerality—that energy, freshness and zingy, citric line—while the clay provides balancing fruit weight and texture.
Based on perfectly ripe fruit, the Brut Nature is a blend of two vintages, and includes up to 50% reserve wines. As the name suggests, it’s bottled without dosage. Aged for just over two years in bottle following a primary fermentation in barrique, foudre and tronconique cask, like all Laherte’s Champagne this was disgorged by hand.
