Benjamin Leroux Volnay 2017 375ml

Note: from Grands Champs and the 1er La Gigotte.

'Super-fresh and perfumed aromas of red and dark berries, earth and a whiff of spice lead to sleek, well-delineated and punchy middle weight flavors that possess just a bit better depth on the ever-so-mildly austere finale that evidences a mineral character. This is a quality Volnay villages and worth checking out.' 89 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Caillerets 2018

Note: from two parcels measuring .65 ha

"This is the first wine to exhibit any appreciable wood influence and even here it is a background element on the markedly ripe aromas of cassis plum liqueur and exotic tea-scented nose. The strikingly refined middle weight flavors brim with minerality on the rich but lilting finale where the only reproach is a subtle touch of warmth. Lovely stuff though make no mistake, it should amply reward extended cellaring." Score: 91-94, Tasted: Apr … more

Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Fremiet 2018

Note: from a 1.57 ha parcel

"An overtly ripe yet still reasonably fresh nose combines notes of liqueur-like black berry fruit with those of exuberantly spicy plum and floral scents. The super-sleek, intense and elegant medium weight flavors exude evident minerality on the lacy and refreshing finale that is both sappy and impressively long. This is ripe yet it remains very Volnay in character." Score: 91-93, Tasted: Apr 10, 2020, Drink: 2030+, Issue: 78 - Outstanding, Burghound
