Laherte Frères Vignes d'Autrefois Extra Brut 2017

From mid-century Meunier vines, this extra brut carries real depth, dried apple, warm spice, and a stony undercurrent that speaks clearly of old wood and old ground. Lean in frame yet concentrated in substance, with ginger and dark fruit gaining traction across the palate before resolving into a long, briny finish. Zero-intervention dosage keeps everything honest. Drinking well now and worth holding another few years.
