Laherte Frères Ultradition Extra Brut Champagne

Champagne Laherte Freres is run by the dynamic Aurélien Laherte, who has been at the helm of his family's estate since 2005. Laherte Freres was founded in 1889 in the village of Chavot in the Coteaux Sud D'Epernay, and over the generations the vineyard holdings have slowly grown to 10.5 hectares, but always there has been an emphasis on allowing full terroir expression in the wines through careful farming. To that end, Aurélien farms 7 hectares biodynamically and certified organic, with the other vineyards farmed uncertified organic or, at minimum, sustainably. Laherte Freres under Aurélien's leadership has started to produce a series of single vineyard and single vintage cuvées vinified in Burgundy barrels without malolactic fermentation and bottled without fining or filtration.

The Ultradition is racy and taught with loads of crunchy acidity and minerality which pairs well as an aperitif or with oysters, shellfish or ceviche.
