The 2024 Benjamin Leroux Vosne-Romanée is an elegant Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir combining fruit from several village parcels, including Maizières Basses, Les Violettes, Genaivrières, Les Jacquines and Au Village. The wine shows fragrant red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry alongside violet, peony, subtle spice and gentle earthy notes. Exceptionally low yields in 2024 produced just five barrels, giving the wine impressive concentration and depth, while a small component from Premier Cru Malconsorts adds further complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully textured, with vibrant energy, fine-grained tannins and layers of red and darker berry fruit. Raspberry and cherry are complemented by plum, delicate floral notes, gentle pepper and a subtle savoury character. The Malconsorts component, aged with stems in a WineGlobe, adds aromatic lift and additional spice, while the wine’s limestone-influenced character brings freshness and definition. The texture is supple yet structured, leading to a dry, cohesive and persistent finish with lingering red fruit, mineral and savoury notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Burgundy drinkers and Pinot Noir collectors looking for a perfumed and finely structured Vosne-Romanée with unusually concentrated character for a village wine. The 2024 vintage is still youthful and will benefit from time in bottle as the tannins and floral, savoury notes become more integrated. Best enjoyed from around 2029–2035. Pair with roast duck and cherry jus, squab with wild mushrooms, venison with juniper, pork tenderloin with earthy mushroom sauce, or truffle and porcini risotto.
