Description
What type of wine it is
Benoit Lahaye's Champagne Violaine is a biodynamic Brut with an authentic profile, born from a harmonious blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. This wine, crafted according to the Traditional Method, offers a fine and persistent perlage in the glass. The bright straw-yellow appearance introduces a bouquet in which clear fruity aromas combine with distinct mineral traces.

Origin
The grapes at the base of this cuvée are grown in the famous Champagne region, within vineyards tended with dedication by Benoit Lahaye. The plots extend across the prestigious communes of Bouzy and Ambonnay, along with Voipreux and Tauxières, making up a unique territorial mosaic. The rigorous use of biodynamic agriculture respects the soil and the vines, delivering a pure expression and a marked mineral identity in the glass.
How it is produced
Production follows the strict rules of the Traditional Method, focusing on the vitality of the raw material through essential vinification. Following bottle fermentation, the wine undergoes a fundamental and long ageing on the lees, resting in barrels. This prolonged rest gives the cuvée a silky tactile texture and promotes impeccable effervescence, defining a dry, balanced sip with prolonged flavour persistence.
