In our humble opinion, Laherte Frères can do no wrong. Now in its seventh generation of winemakers, this family is deeply committed to letting the land take center stage. They believe in tradition, heritage, and honoring the terroir.

With the utmost respect, their family’s land is farmed both organically and biodynamically.

This Champagne is made from 100% Chardonnay, grown in plots with chalky limestone and clay soils—“Craie” refers to the chalk. Aurélien Laherte employs low-intervention techniques in the cellar, including no added sulfur and no dosage (no added sugar).

The result is a complex, utterly delicious wine with citrus notes and a pronounced mineral character. It’s drinking beautifully now, but if you can resist opening it, a little time will only make it more expressive—we won’t blame you if you can’t!
