(from young vines)

combining the old vine ripe fruit of Barossa with a European sensitivity to elegance and balance

the 2008 The Laird is a little restrained to begin

then more stone-fruit than citrus

lemon peel and a plenitude of Chablis character where only a hint of exotic fruit is in evidence

Benjamin Leroux, Volnay Vintage:2018 (from young vines)(Leroux indicated that there was 60% declassified 1er juice in the blend).

The elevated presence of 1er juice clearly shows as this is an excellent villages. (89 91) 2016+
