Laherte Les 7 Champagne
$149.99
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.
Laherte Champagne Rose de Meunier
$86.99
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.
Marie Courtin Cuvee Eloquence Blanc de B
$144.99
A Kensington Wine Market exclusive, and a beautiful Champagne from one of our favourite producers! 93 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, too. The review: "Scents and juicy, tart-edged abundance of apple, green rhubarb, papaya and musky rose radish make for a wine of almost spine-tingling invigoration, yet whose combination of lees-influence and intentionally low-pressure mousse engender a sense of polish and delicacy. A subtle suffusion of oyster liquor serves for salivary stimulation in a long finish that will have you shaking your head in intrigue and delight." 100% Chardonnay and made by Dominique Moreau, who took over a small vineyard of mostly 40 to 50-year-old Pinot Noir, with a vision of producing single-vineyard, single varietal, single vintage Champagnes from biodynamically grown grapes- farmed with meticulous care, and vinified au naturel.
