The combination of shallow limestone soils, excellent drainage, and higher elevation produces Pinot Noir with exceptional aromatic lift, refined structure, and pronounced mineral character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"894\" data-end=\"1455\"\u003eThe bouquet opens with expressive notes of red cherry, wild raspberry, cranberry, and crushed strawberries, layered with violets, rose petals, sweet baking spices, and hints of woodland herbs, graphite, and damp earth. On the palate, the wine is beautifully poised, combining pure red fruit with lively acidity and finely woven tannins. The cool site imparts remarkable freshness and tension, while subtle oak aging enhances texture without masking the vineyard's distinctive character. The finish is long, precise, and marked by a persistent chalky minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1457\" data-end=\"1862\"\u003eBenjamin Leroux harvests the fruit by hand and carefully sorts each cluster before fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Gentle extraction preserves the wine's aromatic delicacy and silky tannin profile, while maturation in French oak barrels, with only a modest proportion of new oak, adds depth and complexity. Minimal intervention throughout élevage allows the Premier Cru terroir to speak with clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1864\" data-end=\"2001\"\u003eWhile approachable after a few years in bottle, this wine has the structure and balance to develop beautifully over the next 10–15 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2003\" data-end=\"2157\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2003\" data-end=\"2020\"\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e An exceptional match for duck breast, roast quail, herb-crusted lamb, veal, wild mushroom dishes, game birds, or aged Gruyère and Comté.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"kvn56h\" data-start=\"2164\" data-end=\"2185\"\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2187\" data-end=\"2549\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eBenjamin Leroux\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e is recognized as one of Burgundy's most respected contemporary winemakers.
