Blanc de Blancs
Benoît Lahaye farms his vineyards organically and is known for his grower champagnes from Bouzy. This blanc de blancs is pure Chardonnay from a vineyard in the village of Voipreux near Vertus, planted in 1952. The old vines mean a small production. The wine aged for two years, one of them in barrel.
What is remarkable is what is missing: the wine receives neither sulphur nor a sugar dosage. The result is a pure, dry champagne in which vine and site take centre stage. It goes well with oysters, raw fish, pan-fried monkfish or mild goat's cheese. Serve it at 9 to 11 °C in a wide white wine glass. A little air in the glass shows what this cuvée holds.
