Benjamin Leroux Volnay

Benjamin Leroux produces this Volnay from a selection of lieux-dits across the village, including Les Famines and Les Lurets, giving a rounded view of the appellation. The fruit is de-stemmed chiefly, fermented with native yeasts, and matured in French oak barrels (around 20% new) for just over a year. This is classical Leroux: detailed, finely structured and expressive without excess. Each vintage offers fragrant red fruit, typically featuring cherry, raspberry, and rose notes, with lifted spice and subtle earthy undertones. The palate is supple and energetic, shaped by fine tannins and balanced acidity. While accessible in youth, this wine benefits from several years of ageing in the bottle and can be comfortably cellared for a decade. Leroux is one of the most respected names in modern Burgundy, and his Volnay offers a clear, composed take on this sought-after village. For collectors and drinkers alike, this is a dependable reference point at an increasingly rare price.
