The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Gevrey-Chambertin is a beautifully structured and mineral-driven Pinot Noir from one of the Côte de Nuits’ most celebrated villages. Crafted in Benjamin Leroux’s restrained and terroir-focused style, the wine captures Gevrey-Chambertin’s depth and savoury complexity while maintaining freshness, precision and elegance. The nose reveals black cherry, wild raspberry and red plum layered alongside violet, forest floor and subtle spice, giving the wine impressive concentration and lift.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, chalky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and beautifully focused dark red berry fruit. Layers of cherry, cranberry and savoury spice are balanced by mineral tension and delicate earthy complexity, finishing long, poised and finely detailed with excellent structure and ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Gevrey-Chambertin is a superb village Burgundy — structured, savoury and beautifully refined with classic Côte de Nuits depth and finesse. Perfect with roast duck, lamb, mushroom dishes, game birds or slow-cooked poultry dishes. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar through 2042+.
