2022 Benjamin Leroux Côte de Nuits-Villages, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

This Côte de Nuits-Villages is crafted from select vineyard sites in the northern part of the Côte de Nuits, offering a more accessible yet refined expression of Pinot Noir from Burgundy. The 2022 vintage showcases the balance between ripe fruit and the earthy, savory notes typical of the region. Benjamin Leroux vinifies this wine with great care, employing minimal intervention and aging the wine in French oak barrels to add complexity without overpowering the fruit. The result is a beautifully nuanced Pinot Noir that can be enjoyed in its youth but has the potential to age gracefully. Pair it with roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, or charcuterie.
