About Brut Nature

Brut Nature — zero dosage — is the most uncompromising and pure expression of terroir in Champagne. Most Champagne receives a small addition of sugar (dosage) after disgorgement to balance acidity and add complexity; Brut Nature receives none. The result is a Champagne of absolute purity and terroir transparency — bone-dry, tense and vibrant, with every nuance of the vineyard and winemaking exposed. It is a style that demands exceptional fruit quality and winemaking precision — and Laherte Frères' Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature delivers both.
