More about Champagne Laherte Frères

We're talking to you about his Winery

Laherte Frères is an old maison from the Champagne region (south of Epernay) which has been listening to nature for 6 generations now. We were won over by this precise work; the dosage - so important to us - leaves a lot of room for vinosity and minerality. The family Winery was created in 1889 by Jean-Baptiste Laherte in the village of Chavost (Chavot today). It was not until the fourth generation (Michel Laherte) that Winery was enlarged to 5 hectares (compared to 10 today). With his two sons, Christian and Thierry, the reflection is seriously oriented around the strong notion of the expression of the terroir. In 2004, Aurélien (6th generation), Thierry's son, continued this work, with many years of experience. Aurélien Laherte goes in the same direction with even more listening, more precision. Finally, Aurélien takes the time to let things happen without rushing, while preserving the most important thing: living vines. Regular ploughing (sometimes with a horse), protection of the old vines over 70 years old in order to use them to renew the missing ones by massal selection. To obtain aeration of the soil, microbial life, in short really ensure the preservation of the original, in the original sense, and the quality in the plant. This is the basis of a work that does not hesitate to use many principles of Biodynamics. The grapes harvested at full maturity are pressed directly, plot by plot, in traditional 4,000 kg presses. The vinification is finally simpler: gravity-feeding, slow and spontaneous fermentation using only natural yeasts, a few stirrings during the maturing phase. Finally, and depending on the wines, 1 to 2 rackings of the wines before bottling. It is then high time to take a step back and let the actors offer the characters of the vintage, the soil, the subsoil, Grape variety. Finally, so as not to make up for all this magnificent work, the dosages are light and precise. Thus each Champagne can freely express its true identity. The maison Laherte Frères trusted us. We hope to be able to offer you quickly more vintages and/or more quantities!
