Champagne Laherte Frères - Les Vignes d'Autrefois 2021

LES VIGNES D'AUTREFOIS

The selected plots were planted by our ancestors between 1947 and 1953. Several generations have succeeded one another to preserve this heritage and thus retain all the qualities of these old vines ("Franc de pied" for some). The result is this great Champagne wine, a true tribute to our ancestors and to the Pinot Meunier grape variety.

Viticultural practices: Vines cultivated with respect for living organisms.

Blend: 100% Pinot Meunier. However, there are a few Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Fromenteau vines within the plots.

  • Village of Chavot: Les Rouges Maisons, Les Monts Bougies. Shallow clay-loam soils with the presence of flint. Chalky subsoil resting on hard limestone.
  • Village of Mancy: Les Hautes Norgeailles. Shallow predominantly clay soils with a thin layer of loam on the surface. Well-drained limestone subsoil from the Sparnacien.

Vinification:

  • Grapes harvested at optimal ripeness. Traditional pressing
  • Alcoholic fermentation in barrels
  • No malolactic fermentation
  • Aging on fine lees

Dosage: Disgorgement à la volée. Dosé at 2 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.
