Laherte Frères Les 7 Extra Brut - 2016 Base NV

Seven co-fermented varieties and a perpetual reserve make for a layered, textured Champagne that still manages to feel taut and focused. Lemon oil, white flowers, crushed stone and a faint briny edge weave together with real coherence. Fine, persistent bubbles carry the wine through a long, chalky finish where the zero dosage lets the vineyard do all the talking. Impressive depth without sacrificing tension.
