Volnay 1er Cru Mitans - Benjamin Leroux 2020

The Volnay 1er Cru Mitans by Benjamin Leroux is an extraordinary example of elegance and finesse, embodying the essence of Burgundy. Originating from the renowned area of Volnay, known for its limestone soils which impart a distinctive minerality to its wines, the Premier Cru "Mitans" stands out for its refinement.

Benjamin Leroux, recognized for his ability to create wines with depth and complexity, uses organic viticultural practices and traditional winemaking methods. This Pinot Noir is an excellent example of careful management of both the vineyard and the winery, with aging involving the use of French oak barriques, partly new, which helps to enrich the structure of the wine without overwhelming the purity of the fruit.

On the nose, the Volnay 1er Cru Mitans offers a rich bouquet of aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherry and strawberry, combined with spicy notes of cloves and a subtle touch of vanilla. The aromatic complexity extends to earthy undertones and underbrush, typical of the Volnay region.

On the palate, the wine presents a velvety texture, finely woven tannins, and a well-balanced acidity leading to a long and persistent finish. Its innate elegance and the concentration of flavors make it an ideal pairing for sophisticated dishes such as roast duck, mushroom-based dishes, or aged cheeses.

The Volnay 1er Cru Mitans by Benjamin Leroux is undoubtedly a wine that deserves to be tasted carefully to fully appreciate its extraordinary complexity and finesse. A jewel of Burgundy that represents a distinguished choice for any collector or lover of Pinot Noir.
