Product details
The Champagne house of Déhu Père et Fils was founded in 1787, two years before the French Revolution. The passionate and pensive Benoit Déhu represents the eighth generation of vignerons at this historic but under the radar estate located on the far Western edge of the Vallée de la Marne. NV Extra Brut La Rue des Noyers is a 100% Meunier from a biodynamically farmed 1.7 hectare plot in Fossoy with dark limestone soils. Fermented and aged for ten months in used 228 liter barrels but with "no malolactic, no racking, no filtering, no cold stabilization and no fining. This stunningly powerful and persistent Champagne is surely made for a long distance run. This is a very delicate and elegant release with a superbly refined mousse.
