Grower family Laherte offers two distinct vintage Blanc de Noirs released in a limited small edition : Les Vignes d'Autrefois from Pinot Meunier and Les Longues Voyes from Pinot Noir.
Les Longues Voyes is a vintage Pinot Noir Champagne sourced from a single hectare of biodynamic vines in Chamery, 1er Cru location, in the Montagne de Reims. The old vines are rooted in clay and silts over a limestone base. It's made from a single four-tonne press of grapes which was naturally fermented and matured in old Clos des Epeneaux and Leroux oak barrels. With an 18 months long ageing in barrels and another 18-20 months on the lees in the bottle, richness and complexity is added. The dosage is always kept low (extra brut).
100% Pinot Noir from old vines of a single vineyard and vintage
Vinification :
The nose reveals notes of black fruits, and the palate is lively, tense, fine, tasty and tonic. The wine is of great purity with a very persistent saline finish.
