The Laherte brothers, Thierry and Christian, are sixth generation winemakers in the Valle de la Marne of Champagne. Aurelien Laherte represents the seventh generation and has been taking the winery to a new dimension, while still following in the footsteps of his family. They have 75 different plots across Epernay, Vallée de la Marne, and the Cotes des Blancs. The mantra with the family is to let the terroir speak for itself with a deep respect for tradition, heritage, and land. Each example of Laherte Fréres is more stunning than the last, from the Ultradition Extra Brut, a return to basics, or perhaps their Rosé de Meunier, a deep yet refreshing example of artistry.

The Blanc de Blancs is made with our best parcels on the south slopes of Epernay. This is a perfect representation of the purety and energy coming from this area and the complexity of old vins of Chardonnay.  Perfectly balanced as a non-dosé, its 20 percent of malolactic undoubtedly helping to create a better harmony of acidity, and while there is a pleasing depth of citrus and apple fruitiness, along with hints of dried mango and preserved ginger, this wine is really all about soil and expression of place.
