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.

They champion the use of the meunier grape which is often added to other cuvees without fanfare in other houses. The absolutely pristine wine making facilities located in Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ are overseen by multiple generations of the family as well as chef winemaker Francois Domi. The house purposely ferments at a lower temperature elongating the ferment to weeks and not days as can be standard in champagne, which helps capture the pristine nature of the fruit.
