Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
Laherte & Frères are based in Chavot-Courcourt just to the south of Epernay in an area that falls between the Côte des Blancs and Vallée de la Marne. In 2002 brothers Thierry and Christian, were joined by Thierry’s son Aurélien, who now heads the domaine and represents the seventh generation of the family to grow vines in the area. Aurélien is part of a dynamic young generation of vignerons making waves in Champagne, producing a fine array of terroir-driven champagnes and adopting a natural approach to viticulture. Aurélien makes this crowd-pleaser Blanc de Blancs from mid-slope vineyards in Chavot and Epernay where the vines average 35 years. Made with zero dosage, this is a dry and lively Blanc de Blancs that has aromas of orange peel, ginger, brioche and dried apple. It’s crisp and vibrant with a fine mousse. There is a lovely structure that comes from the clay and chalky soils, with great tension. 50% of the wine comes from the 2021 vintage (aged in a mix of foudres and barrels), with the remainder made up of barrel-aged reserve wines from 2019 and 2020. This helps give an extra richness and flesh to the wine with a good weight of fruit on the palate. Disgorged March 2024.
