The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Pommard is a beautifully composed and finely structured Pinot Noir from one of the Côte de Beaune’s most historic villages. Crafted in Benjamin Leroux’s restrained and terroir-driven style, the wine captures Pommard’s natural depth and earthy complexity while retaining freshness and finesse rather than heaviness. The nose reveals black cherry, wild raspberry and red plum layered alongside violet, forest floor and subtle spice, giving the wine impressive concentration and lift.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, chalky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and beautifully focused dark red berry fruit. Layers of cherry, cranberry and savoury spice are balanced by mineral tension and delicate earthy complexity, finishing long, poised and finely detailed with excellent structure and ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Pommard is a superb modern Pommard — structured, savoury and beautifully refined with impressive depth and precision. Perfect with roast duck, lamb, mushroom dishes, game birds or slow-cooked pork dishes. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar through 2042+.
