NV Champagne Laherte Feres Les Empreintes

The Chateau that dates back to 1889 when it was founded by Jean-Baptiste Laherte today it still carries the philosophy that it all begins with the vine.

"40% each of chardonnay and pinot noir, with 20% pinot meunier, all barrel-fermented. Pale yellow-gold. Musky pear skin, lemon curd and melon on the intensely perfumed nose. Dry and linear on entry, then fleshier in the mid-palate, offering ripe orchard fruit, orange and fig flavors underscored by chalky minerals. Impressively pure, precise Champagne with resonating citrus and mineral notes on the finish."
