Not a gram of sugar is added to this Champagne at the end, and it is a Brut Nature with more depth than the category usually promises. Laherte Frères calls it the purest expression of their Chardonnay from the Coteaux Sud d'Épernay, the slopes just south of Épernay, and counts it among their most emblematic cuvées. The fruit comes from the family's chalkiest soils in and around Chavot, their home village, where the soils are fine clay and chalk and the vines average about 35 years old. Aurélien Laherte took over the family house in 2005 and has pushed it in a bolder direction, and this zero-dosage cuvée is one of the clearest signs of that. In a 3-litre bottle, it makes a centrepiece for a big table that wants its Champagne honest rather than sweetened.

"The NV Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs is bright and finely sculpted right out of the gate. The blend of 50% 2021 and 50% 2020/2019 comes across as a bit austere, but that’s not surprising given the base 2021 vintage. Crushed rocks, mint, citrus, white flowers and sage all take shape. As always, the Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs is a Champagne of great character. It's a terrific value, too." —Antonio Galloni

"Based on the 2018 vintage and disgorged this year, the NV Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature derives from vines growing in the chalky Côteaux Sud d’Épernay. Unwinding in the glass with notions of crisp green apple, nougat, fresh bread and Meyer lemon, it's medium to full-bodied, chiseled and chalky, with tangy acids and a long, saline finish even in this demonstrative vintage." —William Kelley

More about Laherte Freres

A grower Champagne house in Chavot, founded in 1889 and now run by Aurélien Laherte, who took over in 2005. The family works about 10.5 hectares split into more than 75 parcels, some farmed biodynamically and the rest organically or sustainably. Much of the wine is fermented in barrels and foudres, and single-vineyard cuvées are vinified separately in used Burgundy barrels. These wines speak for themselves: no flash, real terroir.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
