The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Gevrey-Chambertin En Champs is a beautifully detailed and finely structured Pinot Noir from a well-situated lieu-dit beneath the village’s Premier Cru slopes. Crafted in Benjamin Leroux’s restrained and terroir-focused style, the wine balances Gevrey-Chambertin’s natural depth and savoury character with freshness, precision and elegant tannin structure. The nose reveals black cherry, wild raspberry and red plum layered alongside violet, forest floor and subtle spice, giving the wine impressive complexity and lift.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, chalky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a tightly focused mineral core. Layers of dark red berry fruit, savoury spice and delicate earthy complexity are balanced by freshness and subtle whole-bunch nuance, finishing long, poised and finely detailed with excellent tension and ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Gevrey-Chambertin En Champs is a superb terroir-driven Burgundy - structured, mineral and beautifully refined with classic Gevrey depth and finesse. Perfect with roast duck, lamb, mushroom dishes, game birds or slow-cooked poultry dishes. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar through 2043+.
