Champagne Laherte Frères
Les Meulières 2020

The Côteaux Champenois Rouge Les Meulières 2020 by Laherte Frères is a still red wine made exclusively from Meunier, sourced from a selection of vineyards located in the village of Chavot, in the heart of the Vallée de la Marne. The name “Les Meulières” refers to the Lieu-Dit of cultivation, which is distinguished by its limestone terroir rich in silex, giving the wine a unique mineral quality.

The winemaking process follows traditional methods, with fermentation in oak barrels, followed by aging for at least 12 months. This process enhances the complexity and finesse of the Meunier, creating a wine that is rich in depth but with a vibrant freshness.

On tasting, Les Meulières 2020 presents an intense, luminous ruby red color. On the nose, it offers a complex and inviting bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruits such as cherry, strawberry, and a hint of subtle spices and earthiness, reminiscent of the original soil. On the palate, the wine is fresh, balanced, with soft tannins and an elegant structure. The finish is clean, savory, and persistent, with a delicate minerality that gives the sip a note of freshness.

Champagne Laherte Frères

The Maison Laherte Frères was founded in 1889 by Jean-Baptiste Laherte when the majority of the vineyards were located in Chavot-Courcourt. Nowadays 11 hectares are located on the southern slopes of Epernay, in Côte des Blancs and Vallée de la Marne. The traditional philosophy is supported by biodynamics, where herbicides are forbidden. The Champagnes by Laherte Frères are the result of the wide range of soils, Crus and exposition. Everything is vinified separately to better exalt the characteristics of single parcels. The majority of the Cuvées are vinified in wooden barrels to obtain rich, dense, complex and fresh Champagnes.
