Champagne Laherte Frères 'Les Grandes Crayères' Blanc de Blancs 2021
Vintage Character
The 2021 Champagne vintage was shaped by cool, wet weather and significant spring frosts, resulting in lower yields but producing wines with notable tension, purity, and finesse. Laherte Frères Les Grandes Crayeres Blanc de Blancs 2021, a single-vineyard Champagne crafted exclusively from Chardonnay, exemplifies the elegance and mineral-driven character of grapes grown on the chalk-rich soils of Chavot, just south of Épernay.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
This Blanc de Blancs opens with expressive aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, and fresh almond, complemented by a subtle hint of brioche. On the palate, crystalline acidity and a creamy mousse create a vibrant texture, while a long, saline finish underscores the wine’s precise, terroir-driven style. Ideal as an aperitif, it pairs beautifully with fresh seafood such as oysters or scallop carpaccio, and for a touch of contrast, lightly steamed shrimp dumplings also highlight its minerality and finesse.
Winery Background
Founded in 1889, Laherte Frères is a family-owned estate now managed by the seventh generation, Aurélien Laherte. The domaine is recognized for its dedication to sustainable viticulture, practicing organic and biodynamic methods across much of its 10.5 hectares of vineyards. Their philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention in both the vineyard and cellar, allowing each parcel’s unique terroir to shine through. Les Grandes Crayeres is a testament to this approach, sourced from a single chalky site in Chavot and vinified with indigenous yeasts, partial oak fermentation, and extended lees aging to enhance complexity and express the finesse of Chardonnay from this distinctive terroir.
