More about Champagne Laherte Frères

Laherte Frères champagnes

Laherte Frères is an old maison champenoise (south of Epernay) which has been listening to Nature for 6 generations now. We have been won over by this precise work; the dosages indeed - so important for us - leave a lot of room for vinosity as well as minerality. The family Winery was created in 1889 by Jean-Baptiste Laherte in the village of Chavost (Chavot today). It will be necessary to wait for the fourth generation (Michel Laherte) to see the Winery grow to 5 ha (against 10 to date). With his two sons, Christian and Thierry, the reflection is seriously oriented around the strong notion of terroir expression. In 2004, Aurélien (6th generation), Thierry's son, continues this work, enjoying many years of experience. Aurélien Laherte is going in the same direction with even more listening, more precision. Finally, Aurélien takes the time to let things go smoothly, while preserving the most important thing: living vines. Regular ploughing (sometimes by horse), protection of old vines over 70 years old so that they can also be used 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!
