WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Laherte Frères Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature is produced using grapes from biodynamically farmed vineyards, primarily on chalky soils. The wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts in a combination of large foudres and oak barrels, undergoing full malolactic fermentation. A significant portion (50%) of the blend consists of reserve wines aged in barrels. The wine is aged on its lees in the bottle for a minimum of 24 months before being hand-disgorged. It is bottled with zero dosage, resulting in a Brut Nature style.
