The range continues to grow, and yet each wine has a sense of purpose. Some are explorations of a single grape, others exalt the qualities of small parcels and then there are wines that showcase the principles of blending. All of these Champagnes share a feeling of vinous richness that is enhanced by aging in mostly neutral oak and low dosage. The Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs remains one of my favorites for its quality and price, but it’s pretty hard to go wrong with any of these Champagnes.” \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAntonio Galloni, Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis super-mineral Champagne is 100% Chardonnay from the family's chalkiest soils in Chavot and Épernay. These vineyards are biodynamically farmed, and the soil is rich in chalk and chalky clay (marl), with pockets of flint and schist. It’s the chalkiness that drives the wine’s striking, racy and intensely saline minerality—that energy, freshness and zingy, citric line—while the clay provides balancing fruit weight and texture. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laherte Freres","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42590387601648,"sku":"210000003905","price":129.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4824\/9840\/products\/laherte.png?v=1657796218"},{"product_id":"laherte-freres-ultradition","title":"Champagne Laherte Frères Ultradition Extra Brut Champagne","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBase 2019, disgorged November 2021.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDubbed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“just impeccable, especially within its peer group,”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e by Galloni, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUltradition\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e is made from fruit that is both biodynamic and organically reared.
