Description
The Champagne Extra Brut "Les 7" by Laherte Frères is produced in the Champagne area, in Chavot, on calcareous-clayey soils enriched by the presence of pebbles. This one-of-a-kind Champagne is the result of the passion and dedication of the Laherte family, who decided to bring back to life forgotten grape varieties, cultivated by their ancestors centuries ago, thus creating a blend of seven vines that reflects the richness of the Chavot terroir as it was 250 years ago. The cuvée, which includes Fromenteau, Arbanne, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Meunier and Petit Meslier grapes, follows a similar method to the solera, where 50% of the reserves are updated annually with the wine of the year.
The harvest is carried out by hand at the optimal ripening time, followed by traditional pressing. The cultivation is eco-sustainable, inspired by biodynamic principles, which aim to respect and enhance the wine ecosystem. Natural alcoholic fermentation takes place in barrels, with malolactic fermentation also taking place. The refinement on fine yeasts, with regular mixing, and manual disgorgement give this champagne a unique structure.
It has a straw yellow color and a nose that explodes in a symphony of citrus fruits, fresh fruit, floral notes and earthy nuances, recalling the complexity of its blend. In the mouth, it is savory, deep mineral and energetic with a long finish.
With its structure and complexity, it pairs beautifully with fish soups, fried fish and tartare, offering an elevated gastronomic experience that combines perfectly with its history and character.
