AboutLaherte Frères
Jean-Baptiste Laherte founded the family estate at Chavot in 1889, beginning a Champagne story now carried by its seventh generation. Aurélien Laherte joined his father Thierry and uncle Christian in 2005. The domaine farms more than 11 hectares spread across roughly 75 parcels in the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay, Côte des Blancs and Vallée de la Marne.
Vineyard work draws on ecological and biodynamic practices, with attention to soil life and massal selection. Parcels are vinified separately, with much of the wine fermented or matured in oak and a light hand with dosage.

French Sparkling
Chalky mineral tension leads a powerful, deep and structured profile. The palate is bright and poised, with focused citrus, a savoury edge and firm drive through the centre. Barrel fermentation and light lees stirring bring measured texture, while the absence of malolactic fermentation preserves precision and energy on the long finish.

French Sparkling
Green apple, pear and lemon peel lead into chalk, crushed stone and a subtle smoky note. The palate is bone dry and tightly focused, with fine bubbles, citrus drive and a cool saline edge. Hints of almond, dried mango and preserved ginger add quiet complexity without softening the precise finish. An excellent aperitif, and a natural match for oysters, sashimi, grilled prawns or roast chicken.
