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
The 2022 Saint Romain Sous Le Château, which came from tank on the lees, has a lively green apple and grapefruit-scented bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with a waxy texture, tropical hints of guava and dried pineapple with a dash of lemongrass towards the finish. Fine.[89-91/100 Points – Neal Martin – October 2023 – Vinous.com]
