Benjamin Leroux combines fruit from multiple sites to create a wine that captures both the structure and finesse characteristic of this historic region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"862\" data-end=\"1404\"\u003eThe nose is expressive, revealing vibrant aromas of red cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant, crushed violets, and rose petals, layered with hints of forest floor, baking spice, graphite, and subtle earthy notes. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully poised, offering bright red and dark berry fruit supported by fine-grained tannins and lively acidity. Delicate oak influence adds texture and complexity while preserving the wine's transparency and sense of place. The finish is long, elegant, and marked by a distinctive mineral freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1406\" data-end=\"1803\"\u003eThe grapes are harvested by hand, carefully sorted, and fermented with indigenous yeasts. Gentle extraction techniques preserve the purity and perfume of the Pinot Noir, while maturation in French oak barrels, with only a modest proportion of new oak, enhances structure without dominating the fruit. Minimal intervention throughout élevage allows the vineyard character to remain the focal point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1805\" data-end=\"1920\"\u003eApproachable in its youth, this wine will continue to develop added complexity and nuance over the next 6–10 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1922\" data-end=\"2104\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1922\" data-end=\"1939\"\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e An excellent partner for roast duck, grilled lamb, roasted chicken, pork loin, mushroom risotto, charcuterie, or semi-aged cheeses such as Comté or Tomme de Savoie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"kvn56h\" data-start=\"2111\" data-end=\"2132\"\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2134\" data-end=\"2478\"\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 widely recognized as one of Burgundy's leading modern winemakers.
