Description
The product being described is a wine called "Lahaye Le Jardin De La Grosse Pierre" created by Beno*t Lahaye. It is a small vineyard that was planted by Beno*t's grandfather and includes unconventional grape varieties such as Pinot Blanc, Arbanne, Chasselas, and Gros Plant. The grapes are co-planted and the vineyard is plowed by two donkeys named Barnaby and Balsamine. The wine is described as rich, ripe, apply, honeyed, nutty, and earthy with minimal sulfur added and no added sugar. It is recommended to let the wine open up before drinking and the last glass is said to be the most delicious. The bottle size is 750ml and delivery may take up to 5 working days.
This is Beno*t Lahaye's most recent creation, available for the first time. This tiny vineyard was planted to vines by Beno*t's grandfather, and he didn't stick to the three major Champagne grapes! In fact there's Pinot Blanc and Arbanne, but also Chasselas and Gros Plant in the bottle (shhhhh). The grapes are all co-planted, and Beno*t uses his two donkeys (Barnaby and Balsamine) to do the plowing. This wine is more than just a bucolic story. Rich, ripe, apply, honeyed, nutty, and earthy, the wine has almost no sulfur added (20 milligrams total), no dosage, and an incredible mid-palate and finish. As seems generally to be the case with Lahaye's wines, they need time to open up, and often the last glass is the most delicious.
Bottle size: 750ml
