Laherte Freres

The Laherte estate was founded in 1889 by Jean-Baptiste Laherte. At this time, most of the vines were situated in a village known as Chavost. The fourth generation, embodied in Michel Laherte, expanded the family estate which was then covering only 5 hectares. The vineyard is situated in one of the most northern wine-growing regions. The weather is particularly harsh, as the average annual temperature does not exceed 10° C. The subsoil plays a key role in the quality of the wines in Champagne with its patchwork of micro-soils and, in the most interesting areas, a chalky and calcareous parent rock, and essential to the delicacy of a great wine.
