2021 Côte de Nuits Villages, Benjamin Leroux, Burgundy

Description

Our longstanding relationship with Benjamin means that we are often the first to taste exciting new wines. This is the case here, where I spotted this new cuvée in the cellar in May and quickly snapped up the entire production of seven barrels, made from organic grapes sourced from a good friend. The vines are well-sited on the hillside in Comblanchien, a village just south of Nuits St Georges which is gaining more attention as a source for great-value reds. Ben’s wine has a wonderful, perfumed nose with red and black berries and floral touches. The palate is juicy, crunchy and succulent with precise limestone tannins and a fresh finish. Quintessential Burgundian Pinot Noir.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 16/20

From one of Ben Leroux’s ex-apprentices in Comblanchien, famous for its quarry, so it tends to have a stony, dusty quality according to Leroux's colleague Abby Kaufman! Tank sample.

Gentle, sweet and with this certain earthiness … Good fun.
