A champagne rosé with a unique personality; savoury with herbal hints it has a big mouthfeel yet a clean and mineral finish. The meunier in this cuvée is very elegant and results in a wonderfully balanced wine. Best enjoyed from a Lehmann Jamesse Prestige, Synergie 75 handmade glass.

The blend consists of 100% meunier grapes treated three different ways:
60% meunier made as a white wine
30% meunier made as a rosé, using the saignée method
10% meunier is added as a still red wine
A very unique wine using both methods of champagne rosé creation; assemblage and saignée, with 50% of the blend from reserve wines and featuring two and a half grams per litre of dosage.
A beautiful bright salmon colour, this is a champagne rosé with a herbal, savoury profile. Ripe fruit gives it a big mouthfeel, the low dosage and minerality keeps it clean and the tannins from the saignée rosé element give it a long-textured finish.
Audacious enough to pair beautifully with a simple French dish of traditional confit duck.

Since 1889 Laherte Frères has been winemaking in the village of Chavot, in the Côteaux Sud d’Épernay. Aurélien Laherte, a seventh-generation family member, took over leadership in 2005 with an essence of pioneering progression. Laherte Frères proudly use all seven authorised grape varieties, vinify each plot individually and use minimal dosage. The resulting wines are clean and have a unique style.
The House controls over 11 hectares of vines spread across 10 different villages in the regions of Coteaux Sud d’Epernay, Côte des Blancs and Vallée de la Marne.
They passionately tend their vines and work in a natural way with their land allowing the terroir to be revealed in the grapes and ultimately the wine. The uniqueness and intricacy of the resulting wines can only be properly appreciated when the number of varying terroirs are considered; all revealing differing styles of soil and its expressions.
Incredibly food-friendly due to their purity and lightness their champagnes are paired perfectly with seasonal spring menus and food.
