Reviews and Ratings

Wineboy rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Lots of secondary aromas along with binned apples from the Chardonnay element. This one is a full-flavoured Champagne some richness and roundness from the age. Good length of flavours. This is what Champagne should always be like.
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Holy gorgeous bubbly! Creamy, biscuity, citrus peel and dried apricot notes are sublime on the palate. An exciting, dry, crisp bubbly to toast to any occasion. Tasted June 2017 by @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
Laherte Les Empreintes Extra Brut (2010) is a Champagne made from old-vine Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes sourced from the Chemins d'Epernay lieu-dit planted in 1957; the Pinot Noir is from Les Rouge Maisons, which was planted in 1983. Disgorged in October 2014. - Community Wine Reviews
