Champagne Laherte Frères 'Petit Meslier' Extra Brut NV
Vintage Character
Petit Meslier NV from Laherte Frères is a strikingly rare Champagne, crafted exclusively from the seldom-seen Petit Meslier grape—one of the region’s permitted but rarely bottled varieties. Sourced from the family’s vineyards in the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay, where chalky soils and a cool climate shape the fruit, this non-vintage cuvée is a testament to the house’s blending expertise and terroir-driven approach.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The wine opens with a vibrant bouquet of green apple, white peach, fresh-cut herbs, and lemon zest, leading to a palate that is both incisive and textured, marked by lively acidity and a distinct chalky minerality. Its persistent finish lingers with impressions of orchard fruit and wet stone. Thanks to its crystalline freshness and precise structure, this Champagne pairs beautifully with soft goat cheese, a classic French seafood tartare, or delicate sushi, showcasing its versatility and unique varietal character.
Winery Background
Founded in 1889, Laherte Frères remains a family-run Champagne house, now led by Aurélien Laherte, the seventh generation at the helm. The estate is recognized for its commitment to expressing terroir and authenticity through sustainable viticulture, employing organic and biodynamic principles across its holdings. Hand-harvesting and gentle pressing are standard practices, while the willingness to champion rare varieties like Petit Meslier sets Laherte Frères apart in the region. Their philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention and a deep respect for nature, resulting in Champagnes that are soulful, distinctive, and deeply connected to their ancestral roots.
