Benoît Déhu’s Champagne “La Rue des Noyers Rosé de Saignée” Extra Brut NV, based on the 2020 vintage, is a striking example of Déhu’s dedication to biodynamic practices and terroir-driven winemaking in the Marne Valley. This rosé Champagne is crafted using the saignée method, where the juice is drawn off after a short maceration with the grape skins, intensifying both color and flavor. Made exclusively from Pinot Meunier grown in the single vineyard of “La Rue des Noyers,” this Champagne highlights the vineyard’s unique microclimate and soil, which lend complexity and depth to the final wine.
The nose reveals vibrant aromas of wild raspberries, red currants, and hints of blood orange, accompanied by delicate floral and earthy undertones. On the palate, “La Rue des Noyers Rosé de Saignée” is both rich and lively, with red berry and stone fruit flavors layered over a taut acidity. The Extra Brut dosage enhances its crisp, mineral-driven finish, adding focus to the wine’s inherent freshness and elegance.
This Champagne pairs beautifully with dishes like duck breast, charcuterie, or even savory vegetarian fare with earthy elements, which highlight its depth and structure. With the 2020 base, the wine captures both the energy of a young vintage and the refined complexity typical of Déhu’s wines, offering a Champagne that is both expressive and unforgettable.

Benoit Dehu has made a name for himself producing Blanc de Noirs Champagnes in the single parcel, single vintage, single grape (for the most part) style that has become popular among the best Grower Champagnes. His wines are resonant and powerful with a distinctly vinous style that merits a place on the dinner table.

Dehu learned to master red grapes working for Bollinger, Champagne's Queen of Pinot Noir. On his own, Benoit Dehu became a Pinot Meunier specialist, working his family's vineyards on the western edge of the Vallée de la Marne.

Starting in 2011, he started bottling wines under his own name from a single parcel called La Rue des Noyers -- 100% Pinot Meunier, farmed biodynamically, and ploughed mostly by horse. In 2015, he started blending some of this Meunier with Pinot Noir from a nearby plot, and calls it Initiation. He also makes an Initiation Rosé, a 75/25 Meunier/Pinot Noir blend. All wines are aged in barrels made from oak growing in a nearby forest. Dosages are very low or non-existent.
