2023 Benjamin Leroux Volnay 1er Cru Caillerets, France
$259.99
Arrives late April 2026.
Sourced from an east-facing parcel in the lower part of the vineyard, planted between the 1930s and 1990s and farmed under lutte raisonnée. The Argovian marly-limestone soils with Bathonian clay-limestone contribute finesse and aromatic lift. Purchased fruit is vinified with 45% whole clusters and fermented with ambient yeasts. The wine is aged 7–11 months in barrel, 25–30% new oak, then racked for an additional 7 months of élevage before blending and resting 4–6 months in tank. Bottled without fining or filtration, with modest SO₂ added during aging.
