Laherte’s entry Champagne continues its skywards trajectory. This current release is comfortably one of the finest Ultradition available. Produced from both biodynamic and organically grown fruit.
Aurélien Laherte naturally ferments the juice in a mixture of vessels—including two 50hl Rousseau tronconique casks, old barrels, foudre and concrete. Regardless of the vessel, the wines are always on lees and malolactic fermentation is partially completed (around 60-70% on average). This bottling—based on the 2019 vintage with 40% reserve wines from 2018 and 2017—was disgorged with a dosage of 4.5 g/L (extra-brut).
Base 2019, disgorged September 2022. Dubbed “just impeccable, especially within its peer group,” by Galloni, Ultradition is made from fruit that is both biodynamic and organically reared. There are now two reserve vintages blended in, making up 40% of the blend, and 60% is comprised of barrel-aged material. The varietal blend remains 60% Pinot Meunier, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir, with the fruit drawn from seven different parcels across the Côteaux Sud d’Épernay and Vallée de la Marne (namely Chavot, Mancy, Morangis, Le Breuil, Boursault, Moussy and Vaudancourt). The average age of the vines is 30 years.
Jean-Baptiste Laherte set up the family estate in 1889, planting most of the vines in the village of Chavost, which was to become Chavot. The estate gradually grew over generations, and covers today over 11 hectares through the Champagne region. The sixth and seventh generations are now working together to create wines that are just like them – pure, sincere and authentic. They share their experience and combine their efforts to make the most of this beautiful heritage.
