Laherte-Freres Rose de Meunier NV
The Rosé de Meunier is a delightful and refreshing Champagne with a pale pink color and fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose, it offers an intense bouquet of red fruit and citrus, with notes of wild strawberries, raspberries, and pink grapefruit. On the palate, it is crisp and lively, with a perfect balance between acidity and fruitiness. The Meunier grape brings a lovely richness and complexity to this rosé, which finishes with a long, mineral-driven aftertaste. Overall, a very enjoyable and elegant Champagne that is perfect for any occasion
92 pts Vinous
The NV Extra Brut Rosé de Meunier is another terrific wine from Laherte. The Extra Brut style yields a Rosé with more breadth and greater vinous intensity than the Ultradition version. The textural intensity and overall volume here are so appealing. Hints of orange peel, cinnamon and dried flowers linger. This release is 60% 2019 and 40% 2018, essentially the Ultradition with lower dosage, vinified blanc (60%), with maceration (30%) and saignée (10%). Dosage is 2.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: January, 2022.
