Produced according to the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, this sparkling wine is born from a meticulous blend of Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In the glass, it reveals a golden yellow colour with straw reflections, crossed by a \u003cstrong\u003efine and persistent perlage\u003c\/strong\u003e. The mature and complex bouquet offers clear aromas of lime, pineapple, melon and yellow peach, finishing with elegant iodised nuances. The palate is intense and juicy, enriched by distinct \u003cstrong\u003eumami notes\u003c\/strong\u003e. This precise flavour identity pairs perfectly with starters, fish dishes, shellfish and cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roots of this wine lie in Chavot-Courcourt, France. The vineyards of Laherte Freres follow the principles of \u003cstrong\u003ebiodynamic agriculture\u003c\/strong\u003e through micro-parcels distributed in historic areas between Épernay, the Côte des Blancs and the Vallée de la Marne. Such diversity enhances the natural exposures and microclimatic variations. The soils, dominated by \u003cstrong\u003elimestone, clay and marl\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensure the vegetative balance of the vines and give the Champagne a vibrant \u003cstrong\u003emineral character\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result is meticulous viticulture that faithfully translates the geological vocations of the original environment directly into the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process respects each parcel through separate vinifications. The musts undergo a slow \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e triggered by indigenous yeasts, followed by gentle rackings before forming the final blend. The subsequent prise de mousse strictly follows the rules of the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, defining the tactile finesse of the drink through bottle refermentation. The careful sugar dosage enhances the dry and savoury finish, giving great harmony. This artisanal precision also ensures remarkable longevity, offering a solid \u003cstrong\u003eageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e for those who wish to wait for its evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1889, Maison Laherte Frères produces the exceptional Champagne Ultradition Extra Brut by cultivating its own vineyards using \u003cstrong\u003ebiodynamic agriculture\u003c\/strong\u003e within 72 micro-parcels located between Épernay, the Côte des Blancs and the Vallée de la Marne.
