Laherte Frères "Les 7" Extra Brut Champagne

Vallée de la Marne, Champagne, France

Varietal(s): 18% Pinot Meunier, 18% Chardonnay; 17% Pinot Blanc, 15% Petit Meslier, 14% Pinot Noir, 10% Fromenteau 8% Arbanne

This is a singular wine in the region as it is both a combination of all seven grape varieties and 40% of the blend is from a continous solera started in 2005. There is an art to finding an acid and sugar balance across all seven grape varieties when determining picking dates, which is a challenge that Aurelien embraces and appreciates. The resulting wine is dense, rich, racy and endlessy pleasing.
