Champagne Laherte Frères - Les Grandes Crayères 2021

LES GRANDES CRAYÈRES • BLANC DE BLANCS • VINTAGE

This wine showcases the unique and complex terroir of the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay: in certain plots, the soils are light and the Campanien chalk is close to the surface. In 2014, we decided to isolate these plots and bottle them to present these Chardonnays with finesse and definition.

Viticultural practices: Vines cultivated with respect for living organisms. Vines over 35 years old.

Blend: 100% Chardonnay. Massal selection and a blend of old and new rootstocks. West-facing exposure.

Vinification:

  • Grapes harvested at optimal ripeness. Traditional pressing
  • Alcoholic fermentation in barrels aged 3 to 10 years.
  • No malolactic fermentation
  • Aging on fine lees for 6 months

Dosage: Disgorgement à la volée. 2 to 4 g/L

Champagne Laherte Frères

In Chavot, in the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay, the Laherte family has been cultivating vines since 1889, when Jean-Baptiste Laherte founded the estate and planted his first vines in the village, then known as Chavost.

Today, the sixth and seventh generations work side by side, with Aurélien Laherte leading this new generation since 2005. The estate covers just over 11 hectares across 75 plots, mainly spread between Chavot, the Côte des Blancs and the Vallée de la Marne.

At Laherte Frères, the philosophy is rooted in respect for living soils and a deep commitment to expressing terroir. Massal selection, plot-by-plot vineyard management, gentle pressing and barrel vinification allow the personality of each lieu-dit to shine through. Today, nearly 80% of the estate’s wines are fermented and aged in wood.

Precise, authentic and distinctive Champagnes that showcase the diversity of Champagne’s soils and grape varieties, with a particular focus on Meunier, the emblematic grape variety of Chavot.
