After spending several formative years at Champagne Bollinger, Déhu returned to his family domaine and began developing his own highly personal range of naturally farmed, terroir-driven Champagnes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of his project is \u003cstrong\u003eLa Rue des Noyers\u003c\/strong\u003e, a 1.7-hectare parcel that Benoît began farming independently in 2011. The vineyard is farmed biodynamically, with approximately 0.40 hectares traditionally worked by horse. The name La Rue des Noyers refers to the trees that once bordered the parcel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an unusually focused Champagne: \u003cstrong\u003eone vineyard, one grape variety and one vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e. Made entirely from Meunier, La Rue des Noyers is designed to explore the character and potential of a grape that historically played a supporting role in Champagne blends but can produce wines of remarkable depth, energy and complexity when treated as a serious single-vineyard variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is \u003cstrong\u003efermented and aged in oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, many of which are made from trees harvested in the nearby forest of Fossoy. The wine spends approximately \u003cstrong\u003e11 months on its lees in barrel\u003c\/strong\u003e before bottling. It is made with minimal intervention, bottled unfined and unfiltered, and finished as a \u003cstrong\u003eBrut Nature with no dosage\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 is a dry, vinous and mineral-driven expression of Meunier, combining ripe orchard fruit and citrus with savory notes, subtle spice, toasted nuances and a pronounced saline character. The oak adds texture and complexity without obscuring the wine’s energetic structure and distinctive sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Rue des Noyers captures the signature Déhu style: \u003cstrong\u003eintense, vibrant and energetic, with beautiful tension and fine minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is a distinctive grower Champagne for those interested in single-parcel wines and the increasingly important role of Meunier among Champagne’s most progressive producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinous rates the \u003cstrong\u003e2020 La Rue des Noyers Brut Nature 89 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e, noting this single-vineyard Champagne within Benoît Déhu’s distinctive range of biodynamically farmed, minimalist wines from the Vallée de la Marne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWine Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Benoît Déhu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine:\u003c\/strong\u003e La Rue des Noyers Brut Nature\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne, France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArea:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vallée de la Marne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVillage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fossoy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e La Rue des Noyers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7 hectares\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Meunier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Biodynamic; a portion of the vineyard is worked by horse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermented and aged in oak barrels\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eÉlevage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 11 months on the lees in barrel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFining \/ Filtration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unfined and unfiltered\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e No dosage \/ Brut Nature\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinous 89 Points\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenoît Déhu Champagne La Rue des Noyers Brut Nature 2020 750ml\u003c\/h2\u003e","brand":"67","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52788646379803,"sku":"210000060837","price":112.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/txbgawm3cr3xe1nxymdg.jpg?v=1786389055","url":"https:\/\/67wino.shop\/products\/benoit-dehu-champagne-la-rue-des-noyers-brut-nature-2020-750ml","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
