The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Blanc is a beautifully balanced and mineral-driven Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most respected modern producers. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards across the Côte d’Or, the wine reflects Benjamin Leroux’s restrained and terroir-focused style, favouring freshness, texture and precision over overt oak influence. The nose reveals lemon zest, white peach and pear layered alongside white flowers, subtle hazelnut and delicate wet stone notes, giving the wine impressive lift and elegance.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity, silky texture and a finely detailed mineral core. Layers of citrus and orchard fruit are balanced by gentle lees complexity and saline freshness, finishing precise, energetic and beautifully refined with excellent persistence and balance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Blanc is a superb regional Burgundy — fresh, mineral and beautifully poised with excellent purity and versatility. Perfect with grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, goat’s cheese or lighter poultry dishes. Enjoy now through 2032+.
