Les Empreintes

Les Empreintes shows the terroir of Chavot as Laherte Frères understands it. There is no fixed blend. The aim is to bring out the character of each vintage, so every release is a new imprint. The current one is the 2009 harvest. The grapes come from traditional, sustainable farming with influences from natural and biodynamic methods, and are picked by hand at optimum ripeness. The champagne is made as an Extra Brut.

If you are looking for a champagne that puts origin and year first, this is a good example. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a white wine glass so the aromas can open up. It suits a refined aperitif and, at the table, pan-fried John Dory with seasonal vegetables.
