A pale tawny cherry red in colour. A monopole (lots of Monopoles in Volnay) This from only 1.5 acres. Sappy, but overall aromas are subdued. The palate is subtle, restrained and overall delicate but has wonderful balance and the ideal accompaniment to Roast Duck Legs. Makes the most of its terroir in Volnay aided by the winemaking of Benjamin Leroux. After a few hours in decanter that light to medium bodied sappy palate remains. Certainly right to drink this now I believe.

Fantastic wine...nose of dusty roses, red berries/smooth, supple & powerful in the mouth/a melange of flavors, blood orange, black cherries, red plum, sweet spices, tea/long, clean, crisp, flavorful wine... just a joy to drink
