The NV (2019) Cuvée La Rue des Noyers is a gorgeous, beautifully understated wine. Citrus confit, mint, white pepper and slate are beautifully lifted in this striking, precise Champagne. As always, the Rue des Noyers is an especially savory Meunier. This is not the most obvious or overt Meunier out there, but it is among the most fascinating because of its dynamic energy and overall complexity. Disgorged: March 21, 2024. - Antonio Galloni|

A bright silver/yellow color, the NV Champagne La Rue Des Noyers Brut Nature is from the 2019 vintage and is 100% Meunier, aged for 11 months in barriques before bottling. The oak frames the aromatics of this wine, which takes some time to open in the glass and has a mouthwatering, more linear feel on the palate. It’s citrus-driven, with notes of redcurrants and white grapefruit, and its more stone fruit notes emerge as it warms up and opens in the glass. The mousse is zesty, enhancing the wine's linear profile. Drink over the coming 6-7 years. Disgorged in March 2024, with no dosage.
