Benoît Déhu's 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," says Benoît Déhu, when he presented me his wine at the presentation of the Origines Champagne group in Château de Pierry earlier this year. "We produce our wines like our colleagues in Burgundy."
