Laherte Freres Rose de Meunier Extra-Brut NV

13% abv

Vol- 75cl

Made from 100% Pinot Meunier with three different vinifications.. The vines are grown with the respect of nature, using organic and biodynamic practices. The vines are around 30 years old.

30% of the blend is made from maceration, that is to say the juice is left in contact with the skins to extract colour 10% is made of still red wine to keep the colour consistent. 60 % comes from vinified white wine, 40% of which is reserve wines aged in barrels.

All of the grapes are picked up by hand when fully ripe, then put in a traditional press. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in vats, foudres and barrels. There is partial malolactic fermentation in this cuvee. Ageing on lees takes place for 6 months. All bottles are disgorged by hand with a dosage of 2.5g/l.

“Rosé de Meunier : The NV Extra Brut Rosé de Meunier is endowed with terrific energy, cut and focus. Readers should expect a taut, vibrant, yet also weightless style of Rosé. Red berry, mint, white pepper and chalk notes are all finely cut in this super-expressive, inviting Champagne from Aurélien Laherte. The Rosé de Meunier is a blend of 60% Meunier vinified off the skins, 30% saignée and 10% still red wine, a combination that works beautifully, equal parts 2016 and 2015.”
94 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Laherte Frères was founded in the nineteenth century with current winemaker Aurélien representing the 7th Generation. They own nine hectares of land spread over ten communes and an astonishing seventy different parcels. Vineyards are currently farmed biodynamically or are in the process of conversion. The family holdings are mainly located around Épernay, nearby Chavot (where the winery is located), Moussy and Vaudancourt. In addition, they own parcels in the Côte des Blancs and the Marne Valley. They cultivate all three main varieties with Pinot Meunier very well represented as one would expect given the local terroir. Primary ferments are mostly in wood - small barrels and foudres - with only partial malolactic and 6 months lees aging before secondary ferment. Dosage is kept low and each wine is carefully crafted to see the varieties used best exploit the estate’s patchwork of fine terroir.

“These Champagnes reinforce my strongly held view that Aurélien Laherte is one of the most talented vignerons of his generation in Champagne. The range this year is truly stellar. Readers who have not tasted these Champagnes owe it to themselves do so. Aurélien Laherte is young, passionate and humble. It is only a matter of time before he is recognized as one of Champagne’s elite vignerons. As for the wines, they are spectacular”. Antonio Galloni, Vinous
