Description
After establishing his name by leading Domaine Comte Armand Clos des Epeneaux for eight years, Leroux has started a négociant business in 2007 to make wines under his own label, in a winery that he shares with Dominique Lafon.
The Production is very limited and Leroux is determined only to work with vineyards that have been well managed and produce outstanding fruits from interesting and unjustly under rated terroirs.
He carefully selects his growers and exerts maximum control over them, converting them as possible to organic and biodynamic practices.
Even if Benjamin is known to be a technical master of oenology, he keeps a very instinctive approach of winemaking and an open mind towards every technics, he perceives biodynamie as a flexible philosophy rather than a rigid credo and he chooses what he thinks is the best at each step.
Tasting notes
Even Benjamin Leroux’s Bourgogne Blanc is a really mature white Burgundy. This is not surprising, as the grapes for this wine come exclusively from the Côte d’Or, mainly from Meursault. Due to the 12-month wooden barrel aging, it has aroma and noblesse, as well as an impressive extract and a precise and clear style. Cool Climate Chardonnay at its finest. Almonds, citrus fruits and vanilla can be found in its scent, it is powerful on the palate and has a long, creamy finish. At the back it becomes more and more exotic in terms of fruit
