2022 Benjamin Leroux Pommard, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

This Pommard is a classic expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy's most renowned villages. Known for producing more robust wines than its neighboring appellations, Pommard offers depth and intensity, which Benjamin Leroux carefully harnesses in this 2022 vintage. The wine is aged in a mix of new and used French oak barrels, allowing the fruit to shine while adding a layer of complexity. The limestone-rich soils of Pommard impart a distinctive minerality, which balances the wine’s richness and structure. This is an age-worthy wine that pairs beautifully with game, braised meats, and hearty mushroom dishes.
