The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Côte d'Or Rouge (1500ml) is a beautifully vibrant and finely detailed Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most respected modern producers. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards across the Côte d’Or, the wine is crafted in Leroux’s restrained and terroir-focused style, emphasising purity, freshness and balance over weight or oak influence. The nose reveals red cherry, wild strawberry and cranberry layered alongside rose petal, gentle spice and subtle earthy notes, giving the wine impressive lift and elegance.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with silky tannins, bright natural acidity and beautifully pure red berry fruit. Layers of cherry, raspberry and delicate savoury spice are balanced by fine mineral tension and subtle whole-bunch freshness, finishing supple, energetic and finely textured with excellent drinkability and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Côte d'Or Rouge is a superb regional Burgundy — fragrant, poised and beautifully expressive with classic Pinot Noir purity and charm. Perfect with roast chicken, duck, charcuterie, mushroom dishes or grilled salmon. Enjoy now through 2033+.
