Benjamin Leroux, Volnay Mitans Vintage:2024 Youthfully reticent

Youthfully reticent

There is a bit of wood in evidence but I doubt that it will take very long before it is fully integrated

this appears to have excellent underlying material and thus my score offers the benefit of the doubt

30% Merlot and 5% Syrah

The 2012 Extra-Brut Cuvée 1522 is creamy

Benjamin Leroux, Volnay Mitans Vintage:2024 Youthfully reticent(fashioned with 100% whole clusters). A discreet application of wood frames the expressive and super fresh aromas of red berries, plum and violet. The nicely rich and punch medium weight flavors possess a refined midpalate mouth feel though here too there is a mild edginess to the otherwise lingering finish. I suspect that the edginess will round out with a few years of bottle age. (87 90) 2023+
