Les CHAMPEAUX 2022
One-Time Release single vineyard vintage Blanc de Noirs
100% Meunier
2022 Single-Vineyard Meunier – One-Time Release
Les Champeaux Extra Brut 2022 is a one-time release and, at the same time, a tribute to the history of the Laherte family. It comes from one of their most remarkable single-vineyard parcels, planted with historic Meunier vines. Exceptionally characterful and deeply rooted in its terroir, the wine beautifully expresses both its origin and Aurélien Laherte’s distinctive winemaking style. Precise and mineral, with a deep, almost vinous structure, it reveals layers of ripe orchard fruit, citrus, white flowers, chalk and delicate spice. Vibrant acidity brings freshness and tension, while the long, finely saline finish adds an extra dimension of elegance.
2022 was the final vintage of Les Champeaux. The following year, the historic Meunier vines were replaced with Petit Meslier. This makes the cuvée not only an expression of a unique terroir, but also a piece of family history. As a tribute to his ancestors and to the long tradition of Meunier cultivation within the family estate, Aurélien Laherte has dedicated this special wine to one of the final harvests from this historic parcel.
A rare and highly individual cuvée for lovers of characterful grower Champagne and for those who appreciate the distinctive expression of a single vineyard.
