The Champagne Laherte Frères Rosé de Meunier NV (Base 2022, Disgorged June 2025) is a beautifully vibrant and finely textured grower rosé from one of the Marne Valley’s leading biodynamic producers. Produced entirely from Pinot Meunier grown on clay and chalk soils in Chavot, the wine reflects Laherte Frères’ low-intervention philosophy and emphasis on freshness, purity and site expression. The nose reveals wild strawberry, red currant and blood orange layered alongside rose petal, brioche and subtle chalky spice, giving the wine impressive lift and aromatic detail.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with fine mousse, vibrant natural acidity and a gently savoury mineral core. Layers of cranberry, raspberry and citrus peel are balanced by saline freshness and delicate lees complexity, finishing dry, energetic and beautifully persistent with excellent finesse and precision. The 2022 base vintage brings a touch of generosity and ripeness while retaining the wine’s hallmark freshness and structure.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The Champagne Laherte Frères Rosé de Meunier NV is a superb grower rosé Champagne — fresh, savoury and beautifully expressive with excellent texture and mineral detail. Perfect with tuna crudo, grilled prawns, charcuterie, salmon dishes or lighter Mediterranean-style cuisine. Enjoy now or cellar comfortably through 2036+.
