The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Chambertin Grand Cru is an exceptional Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy's most revered Grand Cru vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin. Produced in limited quantities, this vintage showcases Benjamin Leroux's refined winemaking style, highlighting the vineyard's remarkable purity and precision. The nose is layered with wild raspberry, red cherry and crushed strawberry, complemented by violet, rose petal, subtle spice, forest floor and delicate mineral notes.
On the palate, it is elegant yet concentrated, with vibrant acidity, silky tannins and a beautifully balanced structure. Flavours of ripe red berries, gentle spice, graphite and savoury earth unfold across a long, refined finish, offering both freshness and impressive depth. Careful oak maturation and restrained winemaking allow the renowned limestone-rich Chambertin terroir to shine through, creating a wine of remarkable complexity and ageing potential.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for collectors and Burgundy enthusiasts seeking a classic expression of Chambertin Grand Cru. While approachable with careful decanting, it will reward long-term cellaring over the next 15–25 years as additional complexity develops. Pair with roast duck, herb-crusted lamb, beef Wellington, venison, wild mushroom risotto or aged Comté cheese for a memorable dining experience.
