Domain
The Lahaye family have been winegrowers since the 1930s. The current generation, Benoît, his wife Valérie, and now their children Etienne and Valentin, are still based in the family village of Bouzy. The couple cultivates (certified organic since 2003 and biodynamic since 2010) a little less than 5 hectares of vines, mainly pinot noir, spread over Bouzy, Ambonnay and Tauxières-Mutry.
