2021, Maison Benjamin Leroux, VOLNAY VillageLerouxs Volnay is typically a classy wine, with a nuanced and perfumed nose, displaying elegance on the palate, a refreshing and well blanaced acidity, with a nice long finish.

The 2016 Belair-Monangé displays almost clinical precision on a nose of mineral-rich black cherry and raspberry fruit

but it makes a positive out of being sappy and lithe

it's deep and impressively multidimensional

it's a punchy

finishing very long and wonderfully minerally

touches of graphite and pressed flowers

and shot through with gentle acidities of pomegrante

licorice and black truffles

it completely fills the palate with vibrant red and black fruit layers

Exceptional value

Super-ripe dark red/purplish fruit

juicy black plums and ripe blackcurrants
