2023, Maison Benjamin Leroux, VOLNAY, 1er Cru, 'Mitans'

Not the deepest in colour, whereas the bouquet is beautifully expressive in a fragrant cherry and raspberry style. The fruit concentrates at the back of the palate and extends beautifully in a fine persistent finish. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Oct 2024. 92-94 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy.

The 2023 Volnay Les Mitans 1er Cru includes 10% whole bunch that actually seems like more on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy black fruit, touches of blueberry and hints citrus peel, turning quite sweet and candied on the finish. Fine. 88-90 Neal Martin.
