Few figures embody the spirit of Ambonnay like Eric Rodez. A steward of his family's estate since 1757, he has redefined Grand Cru Champagne through a deep commitment to terroir, masterful blending, and thoughtful, low-intervention winemaking.

For any champagne connoisseur, the name Laherte Frères instinctively evokes images of exceptional, terroir-driven champagnes.
