Since taking over his family’s domaine in 1993, he has moved the viticulture from being pesticide-free to certified organic and then to biodynamic certification. This is far from an easy transition, as Champagne’s extreme northern climate can make biodynamic viticulture very difficult. In fact, certified organic vineyards only represent around 1% of total land. “Benoit Lahaye is rapidly becoming one of the top grower-producers in the Montagne de Reims.” — PETER LIEM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenoit is proud to share the positive impact his farming has had on his Champagnes. Not only has he found ripeness to increase over time, but also natural acidity levels. There is a sense of harmony and an intensity that is unique to his wines.

Lahaye’s aspiration here is richness and minerality, and the wine delivers on both fronts emphatically. It oozes with red cherries, red berry compote and fruit cake, accented with a more savoury mood in this disgorgement, hinting at walnut and even a note of mustard seed. Such fleshy exuberance commands structural support, which it offers abundantly in vibrant acid line, finely textured minerality and excellent length.

Billecart-Salmon Le Clos St Hilaire 1999

Blanc de Noirs

1999

Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ

Clos St-Hilaire 1999 is the walled 1ha vineyard behind the founders' house in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, where the tuffeau soil was planted in 1964 to Pinot Noir. This sustainably farmed vineyard is ploughed by horses, and sheep graze here after harvest. The wine is 100% vinified in the house's best old oak casks and aged for 15 years on its lees with no dosage. Made only in exceptional vintages, the 1999 follows on from the 1995, 1996 and 1998, and yields were tiny – just 6,750 bottles in 1999, all individually numbered. View more details

Champagne Fleury’s conversion to biodynamics was at the hands of Jean-Sébastien’s father, Jean-Pierre. His interest in sustainable wine growing began in the 1970s when he tried using manual tilling (as opposed to herbicides) and composting (as opposed to synthetic fertilizers). He began a trial with biodynamics, applying it to just 3 hectares, in 1989 and then in 1992 used it across the whole of his vineyard holdings. All 15 hectares that Fleury own (90% of which is Pinot Noir) are cultivated using biodynamics, which makes them the largest biodynamic producer in the entire Champagne region. Recently, two colleagues in the same village of Courteron were so impressed by the benefits that they have also switched, bringing the total to some 30 hectares in this village.
