Champagne Laherte Frères
Situated at Chavot in the south west of Epernay.
Thierry and his brother Christian cultivate eight hectares of vineyards.
My favourite cuvée is
Les Clos or Le 7:
One of the only Champagnes that is made from entirely by grapes authorised in the AOC Champagne: 10% Fromenteau , 8% Arbanne, 14% Pinot Noir, 18% Chardonnay,
17% Pinot Blanc, 18% Pinot Meunier and 15% Petit Meslier.

Vouette et Sorbée
Bertrand Gautherot’s vineyard is based in the little known village of Buxières sur Arce in the Aube. He is deeply influenced by the work of organic and biodynamic farmers and vignerons and farms biodynamically himself.
The estate consists of four hectares of meticulously tended vineyards that are on average 21 years old. A devotee of natural production and protégé of Anselme Selosse.
My pic, is the Vouette et Sorbée 'Fidèle' Extra Brut
This Champagne is made from 100% Pinot Noir
Roses de Jeanne
Cédric Bouchard created it's first wine and own house in 2000. He is already a rising star of Champagne. Cédric also took over a portion of his family’s vineyards situated in the village of Celles-sur-Ource in the Côte des Bar.
I tasted Infloresence 'Val Vilaine' back in November 2010. This wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir from his father vineyards.
