Laherte Feres Brut Champagne Ultradition NV

The Laherte family has a long history in the region. Founded in 1889 by Jean-Baptiste Laherte, the estate was originally made up of vines primarily in the village of Chavot. Fourth generation vigneron Michel Laherte expanded the family estate which then covered about five hectares. With his wife Cécile, the two young vignerons modernized the press and tanks, but soon realized that too much modernity such as the use of herbicides and pesticides would prevent full terroir expression in the wines. They began working the soils, gently vinifying the juices, and remaining humble and patient as the wines developed. 

The base wine is from 2019, and made up of 60% Pinot Meunier, 30% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir from the Côteaux sud d’Epernay, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs.
