Critics reviews
Stephen Tanzer 92/100
Bright, saturated, dark red. Cherry and raspberry fruit with an exotic hint of orange peel on the nose. Juicy, sweet and concentrated, with succulent red fruit flavour. As ripe as this is, it also has the sappiness I look for in the Leroy wines. It finishes very long and sweet, with tannins covered by fruit—absolutely seductive Volnay, but with the density to develop in bottle for a decade or more.
About this wine
Volnay
The finest and most elegant red wines of the Côte de Beaune are grown in Volnay, a village which might be twinned with Chambolle-Musigny in the Côte de Nuits, for the high active chalk content in the soil and comparatively low clay content. Whereas in earlier times Volnay was made in a particularly light, early drinking style, these days there are many producers making wines which age extremely well.
