92 points from Wine Spectator for this non-vintage beauty! The review: ""Well-spiced and mouthwatering, this vivid Champagne offers a finely detailed bead and expressive flavors of black raspberry, dried apricot, orange blossom, fleur de sel and crystallized honey. Clean-cut and minerally on the finish." The Laherte family has been making Champagne for five generations! This Champagne comes from the Coteaux Sud d'Epernay, Vallee de la Marne and Cote des Blancs. A blend of 60% Pinot Meunier, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir, 40% of which are reserve wines of past years kept in barrels. Aurélien Laherte is one of the hottest growers in Champagne today.

Champagne Laherte was founded by Jean-Baptiste Laherte, who set up the family estate in 1889, planting most of the vines in the village of Chavot. The estate today comprises 11 hectares in three distinct areas of the champagne region: Coteaux Sud d’Epernay, Côte des Blancs and Vallée de la Marne.

Since 2005, Aurélien Laherte, the seventh generation, is giving a new dimension to the estate, while following in the footsteps of his father Thierry and his uncle Christian, the Laherte brothers. Laherte Freres provides a range of authentic, pure and unique champagne wines. While relying on the traditional trio of grapes Laherte Freres also has an old plot containing lost grape varietals that were once used centuries ago in champagne. Very unique with few other producers using all seven varietals.
Kensington Wine Market is privileged to be one of Champagne Laherte Frères' exclusive retail partners since 2013.

Serious bubbles that are consistently the "best value in its appellation" - this is not just a great value, it is also a favourite of both Kensington Wine Market staff AND the staff of our next-door neighbour's Peasant Cheese!
Bernard Fouquet is now making some of the most highly regarded wines in the Vouvray region. He is now regarded in France and with the international press as one of the top Vouvray producers, yet that is not reflected in his prices, which remain extremely reasonable. He captures the mineral tones unique to Vouvray’s terroir, along with a harmonious balance of explosive fruit and the vibrant tension of the Chenin Blanc grape. This is one of our best-selling sparkling wines, year in and year out, and while it's the perfect wine to start any festive occasion it would also pair nicely with turkey.

Pink bubbles for a special occasion, or any time you just want to celebrate a day in style. This one comes from the Laherte family; they both grow the grapes and make the Champagne, which means this one is a "grower Champagne" -- rare, in these days of big Champagne houses. This Extra Brut Rosé is produced with the Pinot Meunier grape variety which comes from plots containing vines around 30 years of age in the Vallée de la Marne.

Quick: Name the grapes used to make Champagne!
You probably can get at least two. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. You might even get a third: Pinot Meunier. Good work! Now name the other four.
Wait. What?!?
The Les 7 blend is unusual in two respects. First, it’s a solera dating to the first harvest of these young vines in 2005. Secondly, the vines in question represent a field-blend consisting of all SEVEN grapes allowed in the making Champagne. This Champagne is named Les 7 for that reason.
The grapes used are as follows: 18% Chardonnay, 18% Meunier, 17% Pinot Blanc, 15% Petit Meslier, 14% Pinot Noir, 10% Fromenteau (a.k.a. Pinot Gris), and 8% Arbanne.

'Les Longues Voyes' or the 'The long way' comes from a plot that is 30 km from the estate. This fine Blanc De Noirs Premier Cru is made from 100% Pinot Noir. It takes its time to get to optimal maturity. Long ageing in barrels on lees for 18 months and exceptional grapes give this wine richness and complexity.
