Vinous

The NV (2017) Initiation is a beautiful, exotic wine. Apricot, orange confit, hazelnut, spice and chamomile give the 2017 a decidedly exotic feel. My impression is that the 2017 will offer its best drinking sooner rather than later, as it is a bit forward, with slightly honeyed notes that start to appear over time. Initiation is a blend of 78% Pinot Noir and 22% Meunier, vinified in oak and bottled with no dosage. Disgorged: July 27, 2019.

Description

Benoît Déhu’s La Rue des Noyers is one of the more compelling Pinot Meunier Champagnes we’ve had on the shelf recently, especially for anyone who gravitates toward grower producers and site-driven bottles.

The wine comes from a single biodynamically farmed parcel in Fossoy in the Vallée de la Marne, planted entirely to Meunier. Rather than blending across multiple vineyards, Déhu treats this cuvée as a true vineyard expression, allowing the vintage and the site to shape the final wine.

The 2018 was aged for 11 months in barrel on the lees before bottling, which gives the wine texture and structure without masking its freshness. The oak is not about flavor as much as form. It adds depth through the mid-palate and a gentle frame that supports the fruit and mineral profile. Finished with no dosage, the wine remains dry, precise, and fully transparent to the character of the vineyard and vintage.

In the glass, the Meunier shows incredible dimension. Orchard fruit, subtle spice, and a lightly savory note unfold with air, carried by fine mousse and a clean, mineral finish. The combination of barrel aging and zero dosage gives it both breadth and precision, which is a balance that Meunier handles beautifully when grown and farmed with this level of care.

For Champagne drinkers who appreciate producers like Laherte Frères or other terroir-driven growers, this bottling is worth a look. Single parcel, 100% Meunier, biodynamic farming, and non-dosé is a very intentional set of choices, and you can taste that clarity in every glass.
