Benoit Lahaye Champagne Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut

Benoît Lahaye Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut is a non-vintage Champagne made entirely from Pinot Noir, bringing the grape’s generous character to a dry, focused style. As a Blanc de Noirs, it offers a distinctive alternative to the more familiar Chardonnay-led Champagnes, while Extra Brut dosage keeps the finish crisp and restrained.

Tasting Notes
Expect a golden hue and fine, persistent bubbles. The nose may show red apple, citrus peel and ripe orchard fruit, with subtle notes of toast and spice; the palate is lively and structured, balancing Pinot Noir’s breadth with a dry, refreshing finish. Its freshness makes it enjoyable on release, while careful cellaring can allow additional savoury and baked-fruit notes to develop over the next few years.

Production
Benoît Lahaye is based in Bouzy, in the Montagne de Reims, a Champagne area particularly associated with Pinot Noir. This cuvée is made exclusively from Pinot Noir and follows the traditional Champagne method, with a second fermentation in bottle. Lahaye is known for a conscientious, biodynamic approach to vineyard work; specific harvest and élevage details for this bottling are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C. Its dry, energetic profile pairs well with oysters, shellfish, sushi, roast chicken or aged hard cheeses. Decanting is generally unnecessary, though a few minutes in the glass can help the aromas open.
