Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Disgorged in February 2019 with four gams per liter dosage, the NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Noirs Premier Cru Les Longues Voyes derives from the 2015 vintage and saw 19 months élevage in barrel before tirage. Unfurling in the glass with inviting aromas of citrus zest, fresh apricot, verbena and wet stones, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and incisive, with racy acids, good depth at the core and a long, mineral finish.

Description
In the history of Laherte Frères, there is one constant that crosses generations: loyalty to the origins and respect for time. Aurélien Laherte, at the head of the seventh generation, is not afraid to make choices that others would avoid. Thus was born Laherte Frères Les Longues Voyes, a Premier Cru Blanc de Noirs made exclusively with Pinot Noir from a plot located 30 km from the winery, in the Montagne de Reims. A vineyard that requires distance, patience and listening. There, on clay and silt soils with calcareous subsoils, the grapes ripen slowly, achieving a unique balance between concentration and freshness.
Farmed using organic methods and an intuitive biodynamic approach, the vineyard is worked like a living organism. This cuvée comes from a single harvest and accurately reflects the identity of the site. The wine is the result of a philosophy that privileges the expression of the terroir over any unnecessary oenological intervention.
Winemaking
The grapes for Laherte Frères Les Longues Voyes Blanc de Noirs Premier Cru, harvested by hand at the right point of ripeness, are gently pressed in a traditional press. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in oak barrels, followed by malolactic fermentation, also spontaneous. The wine then ages for 18 months on its fine lees, acquiring complexity, depth and texture. Unclarified, it is bottled at a very low dosage of 3.5 g/L, after manual disgorging. An uncompromising cuvée, born from a single vintage, where authenticity is the common thread.
Taste
In the glass, Laherte Frères Les Longues Voyes Blanc de Noirs Premier Cru reveals an austere, restrained elegance. Aromas of ripe pear, almond skin, dried flowers and a delicate spicy touch intertwine with precision. On the palate, the silky, almost ethereal texture is impressive, supported by incisive acidity and a marked chalky tension. Red and black fruits - blackcurrant, wild raspberry, blackberry - emerge clearly, without overshadowing the mineral background. The finish is long, saline and deeply serious. Laherte Frères Les Longues Voyes is an introspective Champagne, with a precise architecture that invites silence and contemplation. A serene and moving work that speaks the pure language of Pinot Noir.
