As always this is one of our favourite cuvées, with its deep red-black
colour and beautifully rich fruit both on the nose and palate. Sensual,
delicious and harmonious, this is terrific-value red Burgundy and the good news
is, it doesn’t require much cellaring; you only need to be patient for
twelve months before you can crack open a bottle.

A Volnay wirh beautiful purity of fruit with aromas of cherry and strawberry.
Elegant complexity with fine tannin structure, a wine with a lot of charm;
(4/5 stars - decanter.com - Top wines from the Burgundy 2007 tasting)
Less immediately intense than the Auxey-Duresses this wine is softer and
ultimately more stylish. Displaying a delicious, classic Volnay bouquet which
brims with softly scented red cherry fruit, the wine has just enough tannic
structure on the palate to enable it to develop complexity over the next three
to four years.

"Benjamin Leroux has made another outstanding cuvee from his favourite Auxey
Duresses vineyards next to Meursault. This is an energetic, fresh wine, not as
full-bodied as Meursault but with many of the same fruit characteristics.
Salmon steak with a beurre blanc sauce would be an excellent partner, or pan
seared coquilles St Jacques. Bottled for us with a stelvin screwcap for extra
freshness." (Jasper Morris MW, BBR Buyer)

This is made from the ‘young’ vines of the Clos des Épeneaux
but ‘young’ here means nearly 25-years-old. It is a relatively
fruity, forward style of Pommard but still has a lovely sense of place and fine
definition.

Brilliant crunchy red and black fruit suffuses the palate whilst the nose has
real energy and depth of flavour. A beautiful purple colour now, this is pure,
concentrated and intense.

Softer and with more red fruit than the Auxey-Duresses, this has vivid, pure
raspberry fruit on the nose and palate. This is quite forward and will be
approachable whilst still young.

Intense and powerful with delicious flavours of exotic raspberry fruit, this
has a mouthfilling texture and is both seamless and sensual on the palate.
There was not much juice compared to skins in the 2007 Fremiets grapes, which
explains the concentration.

Made from those parts of the Clos des Epéneaux which do not make it into the
grand vin. The fruit bursts out of the glass, a tribute to the quality of the
younger vines. This is ripe, smooth and very appealing. Drink 2009 to 2015.

Made from Clos des Épeneaux vines planted in the 1980s, this is
beautifully perfumed with very pretty fruit coming to the fore. Still tight on
the palate for the moment, this needs another 3 years before it will deliver
its energetic potential.

Fremiets was the first vineyard to be picked in Volnay, which is not unusual.
This has suave, approachable fruit to excite the palate and finishes on a
lovely note of pure, ripe strawberry. With good length, this is well balanced
and will be a delicious wine for the medium term.
