Champagne Laherte Freres Ultradition Brut NV

AG 92 pts

A blend of three varieties from vines of about 30 years old Between Valle de la Marne and Côte des Blance to showcase the diversity of our terroirs. 60% Pinot Meunier, 30% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir, with 40% reserve wines (all Meunier). Partial malolactic fermentation, alcoholic fermentation in vats, foundres and barrels. Ageing on lees for at least 6 months. Disgorgment by hand. Dosage 7 gr/l. The NV Brut Ultradition is the same base wine as the Extra Brut Ultradition. Here the higher dosage seems to give the wine greater fleshiness and immediacy, while changing the wine’s shape. Some of the mid-palate creaminess seems to have been achieved at the expense of a bit of persistence.
