Benoît Lahaye Le Jardin de la Grosse Pierre Brut nature Grand Cru 2019
Unique profile, deep and with extreme mineral tension. On the nose, ripe exotic fruits, oriental spices, chalk, and hints of baking emerge. On the palate, it is vertical and monumental, characterized by a sculptural structure without compromise and a noble freshness that ensures a persistence of rare nobility.
Benoît Lahaye Le Jardin de la Grosse Pierre Brut nature Grand Cru 2019
Le Jardin de la Grosse Pierre 2019 by Benoît Lahaye is a monument to sculptural nobility and the historical biodiversity of Champagne. Produced from a single plot in Bouzy planted in 1923 where Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and ancient forgotten grape varieties (Arbane, Petit Meslier, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris) coexist, this wine elevates the concept of terroir to absolute nobility. The 2019 vintage, warm and masterful, delivers a vibrant substance. On the nose, it is an ecstasy of kaleidoscopic complexity: notes of quince, toasted almond, and linden flowers merge with deep hints of ginger, gray salt, smoke, and a trace of red fruits of extraordinary nobility. On the palate, it is masterful: the entry is savory and voluminous, supported by a noble acidic backbone and a sculptural structure, extremely dense and without any dosage to obscure its purity, closing on an endless, chalky finish of absolute nobility.
