LES EMPREINTES EXTRA BRUT

The still wine was originally aged in 3-5yo barrels with no malos; the fruit is delicious showing tangerine, papaya and hints of ginger, all the time beautifully underlined by a striking mineral quality, with outstanding length and energy. Disgorged 01/20 - Dosage 4g/l.

This wine offers what Laherte refers to as the “quintessence of the Chavot terroir.” It is always a selection of Laherte’s five best barrels from each of his two finest Chavot terroirs: old-vine Chardonnay from a site in Les Chemins d’Épernay (planted in 1957 on clay with chalky subsoils, with around a third of the fruit the rare Chardonnay-Muscaté); and Pinot Noir from Les Rouges Maisons (planted in the late ‘80s on a deep soil rich in clay, flint and schist). Both wines were vinified separately and entirely raised in old Burgundian barrels, including portions fermented in second-hand DRC Le Montrachet barrels.
