Champagne Extra Brut "Les 7" - Laherte Frères

Our ancestors cultivated the vine many centuries ago. Working methods and grape varieties were different at that time. However, we found those lost vines in our old plots and decided to recreate an ancient plot to be able to taste again a Champagne wine with the same taste of 250 years ago...

Cultivation practices: viticulture respecting nature.

Assembly: Chavot terroir. The plot was planted by Thierry Laherte in 2003. Chavot terroir. Chalky-clayey soils with the presence of pebbles.
