Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Rosé de Saignée Extra Brut Les Beaudiers by Laherte Frères is a rosé Champagne made from Pinot Meunier grapes. Crafted using the Traditional Method, this Extra Brut displays a structured profile and an enveloping texture. The bouquet reveals notes of watermelon, strawberry and rose petals, while on the palate, small red fruits lead to a precise and persistent finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the Champagne region, in Chavot, on the southern slopes of Épernay. The plots are characterised by clay-silt soils enriched with flint and limestone, ideal for giving density to the grapes. The use of old vines ensures low yields and a concentrated style. This terroir enhances the varietal nuances and ensures a profound territorial identity.
How it is produced
The destemmed grapes undergo a brief maceration on the skins to extract colour and structure. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in barrels with indigenous yeasts, without malolactic fermentation to preserve the natural tension of the sip. The prise de mousse, carried out according to the Traditional Method, is followed by a targeted ageing on fine lees which defines a rigorous and vibrant sensory profile.
History and Curiosities
Produced by the historic Laherte Frères winery, this exquisite rosé saignée is made from old Pinot Meunier vines grown in Chavot, on soils characterised by flint and limestone. The limited edition of only 1,681 bottles is a testament to absolute artisanal excellence. Fermented in barriques with indigenous yeasts and without malolactic fermentation, it releases refined aromas of strawberry and rose petals. Praised by critics, it is an extraordinary traditional method wine, capable of offering unparalleled richness and a vibrant, fruity finish.

The Laherte brothers' vineyards extend over three typical Champagne locations: Épernay, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne; a total of 10 historic crus. The cultivation philosophy involves absolute respect for traditions and a preference for natural methods in place of chemical products: use of plant compounds to increase the defensive capacity of the vines, non-invasive pruning that maintains developed foliage in height, organisation of work and treatments according to the most auspicious days. The production process involves separate vinifications for each Cru to make the most of micro-climatic variations, followed by a work of selection and combination of the wines produced to create a harmonious, elegant and fruity Champagne. Fermentation is slow and spontaneous; one or two racking takes place before bottling.
The Champagnes of the Laherte brothers are brilliantly clean, crisp and genuine wines, resulting from cultivation and production processes based on unconventional and sustainable systems. They are elegant and refined wines that evoke the flavour of the grapes and soils from which they originated. All the products in the range are of high quality and capable of impressing even the most discerning palates, where the bubbles explode, giving that wide variety of aromas and flavours that only the best Champagnes can provide.
