Our longstanding relationship with Benjamin means that we are often the first to taste exciting new wines. This is the case here, where I spotted this new cuvée in the cellar in May and quickly snapped up the entire production of seven barrels, made from organic grapes sourced from a good friend. The vines are well-sited on the hillside in Comblanchien, a village just south of Nuits St Georges which is gaining more attention as a source for great-value reds. Ben’s wine has a wonderful, perfumed nose with red and black berries and floral touches. The palate is juicy, crunchy and succulent with precise limestone tannins and a fresh finish. Quintessential Burgundian Pinot Noir.
