In short, Leroux is a master of Volnay and has produced outstanding examples for over two decades. The 2022 is a blend of Les Grands Poisots and Les Petits Poisots, the two lieux-dits that border Pommard. Clément Boillot (of Domaine Louis Boillot and Domaine Ghislaine Barthod) makes a single site wine from vines in Les Grands Poisots, as does Nicolas Potel. Leaning towards Pommard in style, the deep clay soils and old vines give density and ripe tannins, which Leroux complements with judicious use of whole bunches and maturation in large oak. It’s deep yet wonderfully complex and already drinking. Outstanding for the level.

Reviews

“Coming from the two Poisots vineyards, not yet racked at all, and showing a touch of reduction. A fine even purple, an elegance of fruit as expected. Brisk red fruit with a little fresh orange note alongside, slightly backward.”
89-91 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
“Red liquorice, cherries and mint, brightness and crunch, a bit of orange chew to finish and spice on the gums. Nice but just lacks finesse a bit.”
91 points, Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front
