Drawn from old-vine parcels in Les Grands Poisots and Les Petits Poisots, with a touch of Premier Cru fruit, the 2023 release reflects both elegance and depth. These sites, planted on a mosaic of clay and limestone, unite the supple fruit of the lower slopes with the lifted minerality of higher, rockier soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1077\" data-start=\"751\"\u003eIn the glass, it opens with aromas of wild cherry, violet, and raspberry, layered with sweet spice and subtle earthy tones. The palate is refined yet quietly powerful, with a core of ripe red fruit framed by lively acidity and the chalky grip characteristic of Volnay. Satin-smooth in texture, it finishes long and graceful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1348\" data-start=\"1079\"\u003eÉlevage took place in large-format barrels and seasoned pièces, with around 15–20% new oak for gentle structure rather than overt flavour. Benjamin Leroux’s 2023 Volnay is elegant and complete, expressive in its youth yet built to age gracefully over the next decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1020\" data-start=\"904\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"921\" data-start=\"904\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"924\" data-start=\"921\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"931\" data-start=\"928\"\u003e– Dark and floral.\u003cbr data-end=\"952\" data-start=\"949\"\u003eBlack cherry, blueberry and violet, with hints of spice and earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1156\" data-start=\"1022\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1031\" data-start=\"1028\"\u003e– Concentrated yet poised.\u003cbr data-end=\"1060\" data-start=\"1057\"\u003eSweet dark fruit, liquorice and gentle oak polish, carried on fine tannins and bright acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1270\" data-start=\"1158\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1167\" data-start=\"1164\"\u003e– Elegant and persistent.\u003cbr data-end=\"1195\" data-start=\"1192\"\u003eGlossy fruit and floral notes linger with supple tannin and mineral lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1270\" data-start=\"1158\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1290\" data-start=\"1272\"\u003eFiner Details:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Burgundy\u003cbr\u003eAppellation - Volnay \u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2023\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV - 14.5%\u003cbr\u003eClosure - Cork\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benjamin Leroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42059396841559,"sku":"BLV-23","price":322.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/997cce82-418c-4ce6-877e-22afe25d97eb.jpg?v=1761610970","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.co.nz\/products\/benjamin-leroux-volnay-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
