2022 Benjamin Leroux
Introducing the exquisite 2022 release from Benjamin Leroux, a masterpiece that truly showcases the elegance and artistry of this winemaker.
With a winemaking philosophy rooted in respect for the land, Leroux employs organic and biodynamic farming methods to promote vineyard health and preserve the authenticity of the terroir. His approach is marked by adaptability and transparency, allowing him to tailor his techniques to the specific needs of each vintage.
This vintage bursts with refined character, vibrant acidity, freshness and balanced complexity that are perfect for sipping now or cellaring for years to come. Whether you’re a collector or simply someone who appreciates a beautifully crafted wine, these wines are a must-have.
On first impression, the Bourgogne Blanc starts reductive and racy, with some slight hazelnut inflections, toasted toffee, marzipan, lemon, mandarin citrus, and a wee bit of grapefruit. Quince and stone fruit—nectarine/peach (flesh and pit), pear, apple blossom, and lifted aromatics follow. Initially, the palate leans toward white peach and pear—a distinctive combination of ripe stone and orchard fruit that’s beautifully balanced. Citrus comes in on the palate, both at the front and end. Once this wine gets some air, white peach and pear aromas, along with a slightly honeyed quince note, come to the forefront. The palate continues to appear racy and successfully balanced, with a citrus and saline bent on its juicy, lifted finish.
