FRANCE : CHAMPAGNE : VALLÉE DE LA MARNE

BIODYNAMIC : Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir

MEDIUM-BODIED, RED APPLE, PEAR, CITRUS ZEST, WILD STRAWBERRY, HAZELNUT, PERSISTENT MOUSSE


Benoît Déhu is a grower in the Marne Valley whose family has farmed the same vineyards biodynamically for generations. “Initiation” is built around Pinot Meunier — the Marne's dominant but often undervalued grape — fermented and aged in oak before disgorgement at Extra Brut dosage. The result is textured, urgent, and mineral in a way that most non-vintage Champagne never achieves.


PAIRINGS :

Oysters on the half shell extra brut's precision cuts through brine; minerality echoes the sea
Smoked salmon with crème fraîche acidity lifts the fat; red apple and citrus echo the cure
Aged Comté hazelnut notes in the wine align with the nutty cheese; mousse cleanses between bites
