Laherte Freres Les 7 NV (2022 Disgorgement)

A brilliant Grower champagne unlike any other. The NV Extra Brut Les 7 is a blend of the seven grapes from a plot in Chavot, planted by Thierry Laherte in 2003 to make use of the heirloom vines of Fromenteau, Arbanne and Petit Meslier already growing within the family’s oldest vineyard plots. The varieties were harvested and pressed together, and all fermentations were spontaneous. The wine was produced using a perpetual (or continuous) reserve stretching back to 2005. Each year, the blend is roughly 60% of the new-vintage wine (2020 for this bottling) with 40% of the reserve—so this release spans the harvests of 2005 to 2020.
