Laherte Freres - Extra Brut Grande Crayeres 2019

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Les Grands Crayeres is a powerful, deep and structured Chardonnay with impressive poise and a long life ahead. An impressive new parcellaire cuvee from Aurelien Laherte.

Today, the 11-hectare-vineyard is run by the two Laherte brothers, as well as Thierry’s son, Aurélien. Since 2004, the seventh generation has been giving a new dimension to the estate. Indeed, following in his father’s footsteps, Aurélien understood that the estate’s true philosophy lies in taking time to do things well and being satisfied with naturally ripe and healthy grapes.

Today, all the family members are working hand in hand to preserve this precious Terroir passed on by their forefathers and to try and create wines that are just like them - pure, sincere and authentic.

The 2019 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Les Grandes Crayères 1er Cru is gorgeous. Bright, focused and vibrant, the 2019 is sourced from two chalky plots in Chavot and sizzles with tension. All the elements are so nicely balanced. I would cellar this for at least a year or two, as it is pretty tightly wound. Dosage is 2.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: November, 2022. - Antonio Galloni
