93+ points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Wafting from the glass with complex aromas of honeycomb, pear, lemon oil and wild berries, Lahaye's 2014 Brut Nature Le Jardin de la Grosse Pierre is medium to full-bodied, concentrated and searingly chalky, built around a racy spine of acidity and an appreciable presence of dry extract. As readers may remember, this small cuvée derives from a parcel originally planted in 1923-1924 with Pinot Noir and some 20% of other heritage cépages, including some that ampelographers have been unable to precisely identify. Drink: 2020-2035. (Apr 2020)"

93 points Yohan Castaing (Decanter): "Sourced from 100% Bouzy Grand Cru vines, the blend is a melting pot of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Arbanne, and Petit Meslier. The resulting Champagne offers an intense, spicy, mint-flavoured bouquet, while the palate shows much personality and a pleasing lightness on the finish. (Nov 2019)"

100% from Bouzy Grand Cru. Field blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Arbanne, Chasselas, Petit Meslier , Gros Plant, Teinturier and other varieties. This cuvée is named after the single parcel of the same name. The oldest vines were planted in 1923 by Benoît’s great grandfather. Combined with the age of the vines, this diversity gives the wine a great complexity and rare aromas. No dosage. Very small production.
