Benoit Lahaye Brut Nature Grand Cru NV (750ml) Beaujolai-Villages

Benoit Lahaye Brut Nature Grand Cru NV (750ml) Beaujolai-VillagesThe ripe style of Lahaye works seamlessly without dosage, showcasing the excellent red cherry and strawberry fruit depth of Bouzy and Ambonnay. This conspires with barrel fermentation to infuse a full straw hue with a copper tint, yet retains excellent freshness of lemon zest notes and impressive acid line. It's all set off with complex notes of anise and nutmeg, lingering on a long finish of softly mineral texture.

A blend of Semillon

The backbone of the Syrah and Carignan ally perfectly with the opulent Grenache

A very energetic wine

then aged under the solaria system

Wafting from the glass with aromas of peonies

Detailed aromas of spice

temperatures remained below average

hedonistic and still very much of a Médoc character

Elegant and powerful on the palate

of chocolate
