Wood-Focused Champagne
Why go
Plan Laherte Frères as a Chavot-Courcourt Champagne stop, with appointments arranged directly. The estate works 75 plots and ferments and matures most of its wines in wood; ask about Ultradition Brut and a Chavot-focused cuvée for contrast.
About Laherte Frères
Laherte Frères is a Chavot-Courcourt producer worth planning around if the group wants to understand why vineyard parcels and cellar vessels matter in Champagne. The family estate began in 1889, and Aurélien Laherte represents its seventh generation.
Choose a useful comparison
Start with Ultradition Brut, a blend of Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, then ask whether a Chavot wine such as Empreintes is available. The house works 75 plots and says 80% of its wines are fermented and matured in wood, so a comparison can bring both blend and site into focus.
Arrange the visit
The producer lists visits and tastings Monday to Friday by appointment, subject to its vineyard and cellar work. Contact the estate for available formats before travelling to 3 Rue des Jardins in Chavot-Courcourt. Its holdings extend beyond the home village; the address for a visit is Chavot-Courcourt.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Laherte Frères began in Chavot in 1889 and now works a patchwork of Champagne vineyards. Aurélien Laherte, the seventh generation, works with the family on wines shaped by individual plots and a broad set of grape varieties. Much of the range ferments and matures in wood, while restrained dosage keeps the focus on the grapes and sites.
Best For
A good producer for drinkers interested in the range a family grower can make from different grapes and sites. Laherte’s wines span Meunier-led blends, Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and more unusual varieties. The estate offers visits and tastings by appointment Monday to Friday, making it a planned stop for visitors who want to ask about its farming and cellar choices.
Tasting Tips
Use Ultradition Brut as a starting point: the house lists a Meunier-led blend with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Compare it with Nature de Craie, a no-dosage Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, or Les 7, which brings together seven Champagne varieties. For an estate tasting, contact the producer ahead of time; visits are by weekday appointment around work in the vineyards and cellar.
