The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Rouge is a beautifully refined and vibrant Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most respected modern négociants. Sourced from carefully selected parcels across the Côte d’Or, the wine captures the purity, freshness and finesse that define Benjamin Leroux’s restrained winemaking style. The nose reveals red cherry, wild strawberry and cranberry layered alongside rose petal, subtle spice and delicate 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 gentle savoury spice are balanced by fine mineral tension and subtle whole-bunch freshness, finishing supple, energetic and finely detailed with excellent balance and drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Rouge is a superb entry-level Burgundy — fragrant, poised and beautifully expressive with classic Pinot Noir finesse. Perfect with roast chicken, duck, mushroom dishes, charcuterie or grilled salmon. Enjoy now through 2032+.
