One of the highlights of Leroux's portfolio this year is the 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Santenots, a lovely wine derived from a 0.5-hectare parcel of 50-year-old vines. Offering up notes of cassis, wild berries and dark chocolate, framed by a deft application of new oak, the wine is medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, with an deep core of inky fruit structured around ripe but muscular tannins and ripe acids, concluding with a sapid finish.
