Champagne // France

100% Pinot Noir from Bouzy (Les Vaux Betins and Les Hannepes specifically, both plots with deep soils), and Tauxières (a plot called Les Argentières with more chalk.).

Aged for 10 months in barrel on the lees, bottled with 3 g/l of residual sugar. Bright red berries, plums and subtle spice waft from the glass. The palate is generous and ripe, with huge texture, sleek acid and a long, saline finish. Aromas of pear, white peach, Mirabelle plum and buttery pastry.
About the Producer

Benoit Lahaye is located in Bouzy, a grand cru village in the Montagne de Reims. His family has been making Champagne there since the 1930s, and today he works in the winery with his wife Valérie and their two sons.

The domaine, which covers a surface area of 4.8 hectares, is situated in the regions of Bouzy (3.2 hectares), Ambonnay (1 ha), and Tauxières (0.6 ha). Bouzy brings structure, power, and fruit to the wines while Ambonnay brings acidity and roundness. The estate is mainly planted with Pinot Noir (just under 90%) on south- and southwest-facing slopes. The vines average 35 to 40 years old. The total production is less than 40,000 bottles per year.

His 9-year-old work horse Tamise, who became part of the family in 2010, leads Benoit around the vineyards, plowing the soil and spreading compost.

In 2010, the estate was certified biodynamic by Biodyvin. In the cellar, the work is as minimal as possible. The major part of the vinification is achieved in 225-liter barrels, without any chaptalization and using only natural yeasts. The wine spends 10 months on its lees without racking, and all wines go through 100% malolactic fermentation.
