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.
