Peter Maude Fine Wines
2022, Maison Benjamin Leroux, VOLNAY, Village
$128
The 2022 Volnay Village has a composed bouquet of dark berry fruit mixed with sous-bois, leaning a little towards Pommard in style. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, well-balanced with a keen thread of acidity and a bright finish. Delicious. 88-90 Neal Martin, Vinous (2023).
Coming from the two Poisots vineyards, not yet racked at all, and showing a touch of reduction. A fine even purple, an elegance of fruit as expected. Brisk red fruit with a little fresh orange note alongside, slightly backward. **** 89-91 Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy (2023).
