This unique and beautiful Grower Champagne is crafted by the talented Laherte family using a broad selection of indigenous varieties alongside the classic Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Laherte family have been making wine on their property near Épernay since 1889 when it was purchased by Jean-Baptiste Laherte. Today it’s run by the seventh generation of the family, winemaker Aurélien, who takes care of 9 hectares of vines spread across an impressive 70 parcels of land.
One of the new wave of innovative and ambitious young winemakers in Champagne, Aurélien is pushing the boundaries of the style with this pioneering Champagne.The wine takes its name from the seven varieties present here which include the little-known Petit Meslier, Fromenteau, and Arbanne. It’s made from a solera system, or a perpetual reserve, which was begun in 2005 and features seven Burgundy barrels from which reserve wines are taken each year. These older wines are then blended with the wines of the new vintage, with the reserve wine normally making up 40% of the blend.
The result is an incredibly complex and refined Champagne which boasts notes of chalky stone, black truffle, and dried herbs layered over a bright citrus core. The power and elegance of this special bottle make it the perfect choice to give as a gift or enjoy at special family occasions and celebrations. Pair with oysters, creamy cheeses, or simply savour and enjoy as an aperitif to appreciate its true charm.

As someone who has been ordering wine online regularly (22 orders and dozens of bottles since 2022), I have long appreciated 8Wines for offering access to interesting international labels and boutique styles that aren’t always readily available locally. However, a platform's true character isn't revealed when everything goes right; it's tested when a high-value bottle arrives compromised, and that is where 8Wines falls remarkably short. Over the last few years, I’ve spent well over €3,500 with 8Wines. When you spend consistently on a platform, you expect a baseline of mutual trust, especially when purchasing premium bottles where structural integrity is everything. Unfortunately, encountering damaged or flawed bottles on two separate occasions has brought to light a rigid, customer-unfriendly claims policy. A bottle of Susana Balbo Signature Malbec arrived completely cooked and oxidized. Despite detailing the structural defects, the customer service team deflected responsibility, demanded unreasonable layers of proof, and ultimately offered reward points rather than issuing a proper refund or replacement. One year later, another bottle, this time a high-end wine - the Caymus California Cabernet Sauvignon arrived leaking in the box with visible stain traces under the capsule. Upon opening, the cork failure was undeniable, and the wine showed the distinct, flat overcooked notes of premature oxidation rather than its intended opulent fruit profile. Instead of acknowledging that cork failure and transport leakage, the 8Wines’ support team engaged in gaslighting. They attempted to lecture about the "jammy profile of the Wagner family." They argued that a leaking, stained bottle with a dry cork and premature oxidation was normal. Rather than standing behind the quality of their high-end stock, 8Wines offered a standard deflection playbook: no blame accepted, no refund given, and a small allocation of reward points thrown in as an appeasement. For a loyal customer who has spent thousands on the platform, being compensated with virtual points for a cooked, expensive wine is a disappointing resolution. Final Verdict 8Wines has an attractive catalogue and smooth shipping logistics when bottles survive the trip intact. But if you gamble on buying expensive, premium bottles here, be aware that you carry all the financial risk. If a cork fails or a bottle cooks in transit, don't expect a refund, expect a corporate email trying to convince you that flawed wine is just part of the "winemaker's style," followed by a handful of reward points to close the ticket, that if you insist upon, otherwise you will be left empty handed. Moving forward, I will reserve my purchases for everyday, lower-risk bottles, and buy any high-end, premium investments strictly from physical storefronts where visual inspection and immediate returns are actually honored.
