TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

The Benjamin Leroux Volnay Clos de la Cave des Ducs is made Pinot Noir grapes from old vines, macerated for 15 days in tank, and aged half in tanks and half in barrels for 12 months. Scoring a 92 on The Wine Advocate, it has an ABV of 13%. A sensual red wine, it has a purple-red color, with aromas of wild berries, dark chocolate, plum, and potpourri. On the palate, you get a nice, rich body, with powdery tannins, flavors of fruit, and notes of oak and spice.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

The Volnay Clos de la Cave des Ducs by Benjamin Leroux is wonderful to enjoy with a good steak, or leg of lamb. Try it also with duck or chicken, and hearty meat-based stews and curries.

THE PRODIGIOUS VIGNERON

Benjamin Leroux is a native of Burgundy, and is a winemaking prodigy. He attended Lycée Viticole, a prominent wine school in Beaune, at only 13 years old. By the age of 26, he was general manager and winemaker of Domaine du Comte Armand. He launched his eponymous label in 2007, to wide critical acclaim. He has risen through the ranks of Burgundy producers at a spectacular rate, thanks to his modern winemaking approach that he combines with respect to tradition and his deep knowledge of viticulture. This young vigneron has a bright future ahead of him, one that the winemaking world is eager to see.
