Winemaker Aurelien has certainly been patient prior to creating his debut Blanc de Noirs named 'The Long Way' as it is some 25kms from the winery in Chavot. Produced from a Premier Cru village called Chamery which is south-west of Reims this is \u003cstrong\u003e100% old vine pinot noir\u003c\/strong\u003e which has been farmed \u003cstrong\u003ebiodynamically\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is based on the excellent 2012 harvest and the vines are based on clay and chalk. Dosage is ultra low at 4 g\/l residual sugar, so expect a fresh, clean style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat struck our tasting team with this wine, was it's prettiness, lifted red fruits with some blackcurrant leaf and wild raspberry characters. Add to this some gentle, warming spice from the extending barrel ageing of 18 months and a little palate richness from the 19 months on lees and the result is a remarkable wine with great energy, intensity, vinosity and reviving freshness right at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are ready to be seduced (or perhaps want to seduce someone special), treat yourself to a bottle of this. \u003cstrong\u003eOnly 2994 produced.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the house\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exciting family estate is located in the south of Champagne in the small village of Chavot - a village that rarely receives fan-fare but it has a worthy grower producing fascinating cuvees in its midst. The 10 hectares of land farmed by the Laherte family are biodynamic and organic with the exception of two parcels which are located further afield in the Cote de Blancs and the Valley De La Marne.

There are layers of citrus peel, pear, biscuit and toasty notes reveal themselves. There is also a mineral spark that invites itself with time and air in the glass. What a stunner!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dosage is Extra Brut level and sits at 6 g\/l. It tastes drier, but as this is unfined and unfiltered which is a natural approach to winemaking this keeps more of the flavour and mouthfeel. The fruit is a blend of 70% chardonnay with the rest pinot noir all sourced from his parcel in Pierry which contains clay and limestone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing aged under cork there is plenty of development and dimension to keep you looking for more flavour clues. The absence of malolactic fermentation keeps this wine tight and fresh right to the finish. An excellent example of a youthful and exciting 2008 vintage from a truly knowledgeable and creative grower. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly 850 bottles made.

His 4 hectares of vineyards are located in and around the village of Mardeuil, just west of Epernay. The majority of his holdings are planted to Pinot Meunier, though he also has some beautifully situated parcels of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, which he often vinifies separately. Obviously, everything is worked laboriously by hand, including the harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cellars, the grapes are pressed and fermented in used oak barrels with indigenous yeasts. Bottling occurs without fining and filtration, and malolactic fermentation is inhibited to provide additional freshness and delineation. Like many of today’s more progressive Champenois, he prefers to keep dosage levels extremely low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal production is a mere 2500 cases per year, which he sells under two different – though closely related - domaine names.

There are layers of citrus peel, pear, biscuit and toasty notes reveal themselves. There is also a mineral spark that invites itself with time and air in the glass. What a stunner!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dosage is Extra Brut level and sits at 6 g\/l. It tastes drier, but as this is unfined and unfiltered which is a natural approach to winemaking this keeps more of the flavour and mouthfeel.

Obviously, everything is worked laboriously by hand, including the harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cellars, the grapes are pressed and fermented in used oak barrels with indigenous yeasts.
