Benoît Déhu Cuvée La Rue des Noyers - 2018 Base NV

Biodynamic Meunier from Déhu's Fossoy plots, raised in local oak and bottled without dosage. White flowers, dried chamomile and a quiet thread of baking spice lead into a palate that's supple and composed, faint wood-smoke and forest floor weaving through without ever dominating. The fruit is clean and uncluttered, the kind of purity that comes from restraint rather than stripping. 2018's natural equilibrium holds through to a calm, complete finish.
