About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of Sparkling WineChampagne, FranceDisgorged January 2018. This wine offers what Laherte refers to as the “quintessence of the Chavot terroir.” It is always a selection of Laherte's five best barrels from each of his two finest Chavot terroirs—old-vine Chardonnay from a site in Les Chemins d'Epernay planted in 1957, on clay with chalky subsoils, (around a third of the Chardonnay is actually the rare Chardonnay-Muscaté), and Pinot Noir from Les Rouges Maisons, planted in the late ‘80s on a deep soil rich in clay, flint and schist.

“The 2012 Extra Brut Les Empreintes is yet another compelling wine in this range Aurélien Laherte. Radiant and super-expressive on the palate, with tremendous richness, the Empreintes dazzles from start to finish. Bright saline notes add tension to the sculpted finish in a Champagne that delivers the goods big time. Les Empreintes is a blend of 50% Chardonnay from Les Chemins d'Epernay and 50% Pinot Noir from Les Rouges Maisons, both in Chavot, planted in 1957 and 1983 respectively. In a word: superb. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: January 2018.” 95 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous.
