Benjamin has been a good friend of ours since his days at Comte Armand, and his powerful, impressive winemaking style shines through this vintage.
Recalling his first ever visit to the UK back in 1999 during our recent tastings, Benjamin spent some time reminiscing about his stay with Richard Wheeler, not least for the friendly dispute regarding the relative merits of local Mersea Oysters versus their French counterparts! As for the wines, Benjamin’s Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans is rapidly becoming a must-have from our offer, the 2017 perhaps his greatest expression of this famous terroir to date.
