The Laherte estate was founded in 1889 by Jean-Baptiste Laherte. At this time, most of the vines were situated in a village known as Chavost. “Today, we are making our ‘Rose d’ Assemblage’ with the maturity from our old vines (30 years) of Meunier only. With the different vinification, we are able to get a perfect blend between Fruit, Complexity, Structure and Freshness. 100% Pinot Meunier. This 50% 2012, 50% 2013 Rose de Meunier is a blend of 30% macerated Meunier, 60% white wine (immediately pressed Meunier) and 10% still red Meunier.
