Laherte Frères Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Champagne Longues Voyes 2015

94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): “The 2015 Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Les Longues Voyes 1er Cru is powerful, rich and resonant, with tons of Pinot Noir character that comes to life with time in the glass. This is an especially bright, focused expression of Pinot, with a bevy of floral and mineral notes that lend tremendous vibrancy. The 2015 spent 18 months in barrel (long for Champagne) was bottled with 4 grams of dosage. It is yet another incredibly distinctive wine in this stellar range from Laherte. Dosage: 4 gr/L. Disgorged: February, 2019. Drink: 2022-2030. (Dec 2019)”

92 points William Kelley (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. Drink: 2020-2030. (Sep 2020)”
