Laherte Freres N.V. Champagne Extra Brut "Ultradition", Chavot, Marne

This is the “entry-level” champagne for Laherte Frères, but it is not for beginners.  Made of 60% Pinot Meunier, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir, the wine is aged in vats and Burgundy barrels, the wine is super-dry to my palate with a considerable amount of acidity in the wine.  The yeast aromas are restrained and bright, followed by the taste of a very lively bubbly and a long aftertaste.  There is serious minerality here.
