Benjamin Leroux Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Cave des Ducs Monopole '23

From a monopole Premier Cru vineyard, this Volnay boasts a deep ruby color. The nose is complex and alluring, blending aromas of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, rose petal, and a subtle hint of spice and earth. The palate is the epitome of Volnay elegance: medium-bodied with incredibly silky, refined tannins and a vibrant acidity that gives the wine a captivating energy. Flavors of red berries, blood orange, and a touch of vanilla unfold with finesse and depth, leading to a long, perfumed finish. This wine is crafted with a portion of whole clusters and aged in French oak barrels to build its complex aromatic profile and velvety texture. Earning 95 points for its breathtaking purity and finesse, it is a sublime match for roasted guinea fowl, filet mignon, or dishes with a truffle accent.
