Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The “La Rue des Noyers” pours a straw color with medium viscosity with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with lemons, black pepper, snow peas, peaches, and celery root. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and zippy. What a lovely and distinctive Champagne.
Labeled as NV but this bottle represents the 2016 vintage. “La Rue des Noyers” is a single vineyard in Vallée de la Marne, planted exclusively to Meunier. Benoit ages in oak and on lees for 11 months. I wish I could find this a little more easily. Disgorged May of 2020, during the height of the pandemic. — 2 months ago
Waited a year to open this bottle in celebration of my wife and I’s wedding anniversary. Raspberry, strawberry, tart, smooth, yet slightly acidic. Might be biased due to the occasion, but this bottle is really amazing! Happy anniversary to my beautiful bride ❤️ — a month ago
