2024 Benjamin Leroux Savigny-lès-Beaune

The 2024 Benjamin Leroux Savigny-lès-Beaune is an elegant Côte de Beaune Pinot Noir sourced from a selection of Savigny-lès-Beaune vineyards, including Les Saucours and Aux Fourneaux. The wine shows bright red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry alongside violet, fresh floral notes and a subtle earthy character. The 2024 vintage brings plenty of freshness and energy, with the appellation’s naturally savoury character adding depth beneath the vibrant fruit.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, with lively acidity, refined tannins and layers of crunchy red berry and cherry. Raspberry and wild strawberry are complemented by subtle floral, earthy and mineral notes, while a gently savoury character adds complexity through the mid-palate. A small proportion of whole-bunch fermentation and restrained new oak help preserve the wine’s freshness and transparency, while barrel maturation adds polish and texture. The finish is dry, focused and persistent, with a lightly chalky, mineral edge and lingering red-fruit character.

Ben’s Recommendation: 
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Burgundy drinkers who enjoy elegant, fresh Pinot Noir with perfume, fine tannins and subtle savoury complexity. The 2024 vintage is youthful and will benefit from some bottle development as the fruit and structure become more integrated. Best enjoyed from around 2028–2032. Pair with roast duck and cherry jus, roast quail with wild mushrooms, pork tenderloin with fennel and apple, veal with mushroom sauce, or wild mushroom and thyme risotto.
