The wine opens with aromas of lemon zest, orchard fruits, white flowers, and hints of hazelnut and wet stone. On the palate, lively citrus and crisp pear are complemented by gentle lees-derived richness, creating a wine that is both energetic and refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"937\" data-end=\"1330\"\u003eBenjamin Leroux emphasizes precision in both the vineyard and cellar. Grapes are harvested by hand, gently pressed, and fermented with native yeasts. Aging typically takes place in French oak barrels, with only a modest proportion of new oak, preserving purity of fruit while adding subtle texture and complexity. Minimal intervention throughout élevage allows the vineyard character to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1332\" data-end=\"1476\"\u003eAlthough intended for enjoyment in its youth, the wine possesses the balance and structure to develop additional nuance over the next 3–5 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1614\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1495\"\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent with oysters, grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy poultry dishes, fresh goat cheese, or mushroom risotto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"kvn56h\" data-start=\"1621\" data-end=\"1642\"\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1644\" data-end=\"1965\"\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 regarded as one of Burgundy’s most talented contemporary winemakers.
