Pinot Noir and Meunier. Disgorged in May 2023. This gorgeous new(ish) Blanc de Noirs sits in the range alongside Laherte’s dazzling Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature. It’s a blend of 50% Pinot Noir from Le Breuil in the Marne Valley and 50% Pinot Meunier from the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay (Chavot and Moussy). The current release is a half-and-half blend of 2021 and 2020. In the cellar, Laherte naturally ferments the vins clairs in aged barrel and foudre. The wine completes malolactic conversion and is bottled without dosage to “respect fruit intensity and mineral freshness”.

This is a stunning release that combines the supple fruit of Pinot Meunier, the vinosity of Pinot Noir and the salinity of the chalky soils. It’s a beautifully vibrant and deep colour. The nose is flush with fresh summer fruit, red flowers and chalky minerals, which are mirrored on the harmonious and balanced palate. Nervy tension, tensile energy and live-wire freshness close out a very pure, mouth-watering wine.

Reviews

“The NV Brut Nature Blanc de Noirs is laced with tons of Pinot character (50/50 Noir and Meunier). Dried pear, spice, hazelnut, dried flowers and anise open in this very pretty and expressive Blanc de Noirs. A wine of subtlety and nuance, this offering is very nicely done. I especially admire the energy here. Zero dosage. No dosage. Disgorged: May 2023.”
