Laherte Freres "Les Champeaux" Extra Brut, Champagne, France 2022
Les Champeaux Extra Brut 2022 is a beautifully distinctive, terroir-driven Champagne from one of Aurélien Laherte’s most compelling single-vineyard parcels. Precise, mineral, and deeply vinous, it delivers layers of ripe orchard fruit, citrus, white flowers, chalk, and subtle spice, framed by vibrant acidity and a long, saline finish. A sophisticated, highly individual Champagne for the collector who values vineyard expression, rarity, and the kind of detail that rewards serious attention.
Les Champeaux is a swan song cuvee as 2022 was the very last harvest of these historic vines, whiche were replanted the following year with Petit Meslier. As a nod to his ancestors and the long presence of Meunier in the faily holdings, Champeux is a beautiful hommage bottling.
