Benoît Lahaye is one of the most recognized biodynamic producers in the region. His champagnes are concentrated, full-bodied, dense and powerful, which is typical for Bouzy and the neighboring villages of Montagne de Reims. They have distinct bruised apple and toasty notes with a chalky finish. The modern history of Champagne Lahaye begins in 1993 when Benoît started to work in the family vineyards established by his great-grandfather. As was common back then he sold all of his grapes to the big champagne houses. The independent production started in 1996 when the family left the cooperative.
