[SOLD-OUT] Benjamin Leroux Volnay Premier Cru Clos de la Cave des Ducs 2018

ANNE KREBHIEL 94 POINTS!  
THIS IS A MONOPOLE SITE, CONTROLLED ENTIRELY BY LEROUX, MANAGED BIODYNAMICALLY WITH THE UTMOST CARE. IT IS ALSO THE HIGHEST 1ER CRU SITE IN THE VOLNAY CRU, DELIVERING A SEDUCTIVE, PERFUMED AND FINE PINOT NOIR.  

"Morello and red-cherry notes flutter. The palate frames them in floral oak, with taut, sprightly tannin and a velvety lick of richness. Freshness pervades and heightens the aromas. Lovely, slender, expressive, and profound. The lasting echoes are as perfumed as the first sip." - World of Fine Wine

"An overtly floral nose combines notes of wood toast, essence of red and dark currant plus a hint of spice. There is a lovely inner mouth perfume to the racy, refined and stony lighter weight flavors that terminate in a youthful finale." - Allen Meadows

"This year Leroux utilised 50% whole bunches (high for him) and just 15% new oak. It's one of my favourite releases of this wine, with wonderful flesh and seduction, but also plenty of super-fine, powdery tannins. An outstanding Volnay that is wonderfully seductive now, but will also age very well." - Bibendum
