Laherte Frères’ Champagne Brut Ultradition NV (375mL) is a vibrant and terroir-driven blend, showcasing the unique character of the Vallée de la Marne. Made predominantly from Pinot Meunier, complemented by Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this Champagne delivers a compelling balance of richness and freshness. On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe orchard fruits—pear, apple, and golden plum—intertwined with hints of citrus zest, white flowers, and a subtle touch of brioche. The palate is dynamic and textured, offering flavors of baked apple, lemon curd, and a whisper of almond, supported by a fine, creamy mousse and refreshing acidity. The finish is long and mineral-laden, highlighting its purity and precision.

Ultradition reflects Laherte Frères’ dedication to sustainable viticulture and low-intervention winemaking. Grapes are hand-harvested from sustainably farmed plots across multiple terroirs, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged on lees to enhance complexity and depth. The moderate dosage strikes a perfect balance, preserving the vibrancy of the wine while adding a layer of harmony.

This half-bottle format is ideal for intimate moments or sampling the maison’s signature style. It pairs beautifully with dishes such as roasted poultry, seafood risotto, or soft cheeses. Its approachable elegance and freshness also make it an excellent aperitif. Laherte Frères’ Ultradition Brut NV in 375mL format offers a refined snapshot of the house’s artisanal approach to crafting Champagne with authenticity and finesse.

Aurélien Laherte believes Champagne should be for everyone. We agree.

Along with childhood best friend and fellow rising star, Raphaël Bérèche, they formed Terre de Vins, a down to earth trade organization. They bring together like-minded growers for a yearly tasting of vin clair (still wine, pre-bubbles) and finished Champagne to showcase their progressive wines.

Aurélien makes wines of power and whimsy, decadence and tension. Maybe it is because of his biodynamic approach, maybe it was his training with Antoine Sélosse or maybe he is simply one of the best vignerons in Champagne. No matter the reason, take advantage of this newsletter only pricing to experience it for yourself.

All of his wines are aged in neutral barrels, do not go through malolactic fermentation and have just enough dosage to balance the wine and showcase the terroir.

Seventh generation winegrower Aurélien Laherte is part of a dynamic, young generation making waves in Champagne and producing a fine array of terroir-driven Champagnes using a natural approach to viticulture and winemaking. Since taking the helm of his family’s estate in 2005, Aurelien has been a devoted practitioner of organic and biodynamic viticulture, striving to produce a lineup of blended and single-vineyard Champagnes that deeply expresses the identities of his unique terroirs. The vibrant, energetic and racy profile of Laherte Frères Champagnes has earned Aurélien a reputations as a rising star in the region.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 92
"Based on the 2015 vintage and 40% of reserve wines, the NV Extra Brut Ultradition is an assemblage of 60% Pinot Meunier, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir from eight villages and terroirs in the Coteaux Sud d'Epernay and the Marne Valley. Vinified in cuves, pièces and foudres and aged on the lees for six months (with malolactic partly done), this is a deep, pure and complex cuvée. Full-bodied, firm and very mineral yet fine, fresh and pure on the salty palate, the finish reveals charming richness and intense fruit but keeps the firm and chalky expression of this impressive Extra Brut. I'd keep this cuvée for another two or three years, but I suppose it can also age for a decade. Tasted in August 2018 from Lot L.14 that was disgorged in November 2017." -Stephen Reinhardt

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!
