2023 Benjamin Leroux Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Hauts Jarrons

The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Hauts Jarrons is a beautifully refined Premier Cru Pinot Noir from one of Savigny’s most highly regarded hillside vineyards. Crafted in Benjamin Leroux’s precise and terroir-driven style, the wine balances lifted red fruit with mineral tension and fine structural detail, reflecting the cooler limestone-rich soils of Les Hauts Jarrons. The nose reveals wild strawberry, red cherry and cranberry layered alongside rose petal, subtle spice and delicate earthy notes, giving the wine impressive perfume and elegance.

On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and beautifully focused red berry fruit. Layers of cherry, raspberry and savoury spice are balanced by chalky mineral freshness and subtle whole-bunch complexity, finishing long, poised and finely detailed with excellent precision and ageing potential.

Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Hauts Jarrons is a superb Premier Cru Burgundy — elegant, mineral and beautifully structured with outstanding finesse and energy. Perfect with roast duck, quail, mushroom dishes, charcuterie or grilled salmon. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar through 2040+.
