The NV (2022) Brut Nature Blanc de Noirs, a blend of equal parts Meunier and Pinot Noir, is rich and exuberant right out of the gate. Kirsch, white pepper, cranberry and chalk soar from the glass. Delicate and vibrant, with gorgeous aromatic presence and excellent balance, the Blanc de Noirs is especially fine today. Multiple disgorgements throughout the year.

It’s always a pleasure to taste through the Laherte Champagnes, as they express so much site, variety and vintage character. The finest wines in this lineup really have the ability to transport the taster. The top selections are aged in barrel. Although malolactic fermentation is blocked wholly or partially in almost all the wines, Laherte does stir the lees to build texture. Dosage is on the low side. For readers who want to explore the cutting edge of grower Champagne, I can think of few estates that match Laherte for the breadth and quality of the wines.

Disgorged without dosage in April 2024, Laherte’s latest NV Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature blends equal parts wine from the 2022 harvest with reserves from the two previous vintages. Sourced from the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay and Vallée de la Marne and comprising 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Pinot Meunier, it delivers aromas of pear, orange zest and dried flowers, mingling with blanched almonds. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, saline and vinous, with racy acidity and a precise, saline finish. Its attractively bitter phenolics further underscore the wine’s chalky character.
