2023 Benoit Cantin, Irancy

Domaine Benoît Cantin farms 14 hectares in the heart of the Irancy appellation, representing five generations of family ownership in this northern Burgundy village. The vineyards sit on steep slopes composed of Kimmeridgian limestone, marl, and clay, sharing the exact geological foundation found nearby in Chablis. In the glass, the medium ruby wine displays aromas of sweet cherries, spices, roses, and a grind of the pepper mill, balanced by a palate of blood orange, soil tones, iron, and a stony backbone. The warm 2023 vintage brings out a luscious, open character with silky tannins and refreshing acidity. This approachable bottle delivers authentic regional charm and is ready to enjoy tonight.
