Winemaker / Tasting Notes

This vineyard belongs to Jean-Charles, Ben Leroux's Right Hand Man. It has been in his family for generations and he farms it himself with the precision and care of a proud father. It is completely enclosed by walls, but also surrounded on three sides by buildings of the village of Volnay, making it a uniquely sheltered terroir despite its higher altitude.

Fine mid red with an elegance of bouquet that we have come to expect here. Gracious gentle sweet fruit, 20% whole bunch, this is very sensual and showing well, exactly the classic style of the vintage. The grapes were fully ripe but retained their balance.
