Benjamin Leroux Volnay

Natural Cork. Leroux is a master of Volnay and has produced outstanding examples for over two decades. The 2022 is a blend of Les Grands Poisots and Les Petits Poisots, the two lieux-dits that border Pommard. Clément Boillot (of Domaine Louis Boillot and Domaine Ghislaine Barthod) makes a single site wine from vines in Les Grands Poisots, as does Nicolas Potel. Leaning towards Pommard in style, the deep clay soils and old vines give density and ripe tannins, which Leroux complements with judicious use of whole bunches and maturation in large oak. It’s deep yet wonderfully complex and already drinking. Outstanding for the level.
