Domaine Benôit Cantin, Cuvée Emeline, Irancy, 2015

Drinking Window: 2022 – 2025
Benoit took over this multi-generational family estate based in Irancy itself in 1994. This cuvée, named for his daughter, is a multi-parcel blend that contains a bit of César and shows how beautifully these village wines can develop. Ripe, but not fleshy, attractive firmness persists and offsets its cherry-like fruitiness. Savoury earthy notes of maturity are just emerging, adding to its appeal.
