2024, Maison Benjamin Leroux, VOLNAY, Village

Fine ruby colour with the most deliciously elegant Volnay nose, very graceful cherry with floral top notes, and a long finish. Fine boned, modest depth perhaps but a joy to drink. From Petits and Grands Poisots. Drink from 2028-2032.

The 2024 Volnay Village has a fragrant bouquet with dark red cherry and crushed strawberry scents, with just a hint of orange blossom in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with lightly spiced red fruit, a touch of bay leaf and white pepper, quite linear towards the finish where it is a little Pommard-like. Give it a year in bottle.
