André Bonhomme Viré-Clessé Vieilles Vignes 2017 375ml

This cuvée is completely different because it’s from vines that are between 70 to 95 years old on clay and limestone. All the wines are separated during winemaking before blending. So, for 12 months all the wines are in oak ranging from new (15 to 20%) to 8 years old. Then the family blends all the barrels in stainless tanks to spend a further nine months or more.

Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Blanc 2017

'A different aromatic expression offers up notes of apple, floral and petrol. The succulent, round and fleshy middle weight flavors enjoy a lovely sense of energy that makes the lingering finish refreshing as well. This too should drink well shortly after release.' 86 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound

Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Rouge 2017

'A super-fresh nose offers up pretty red berry, especially cherry, and humus scents. The equally fresh and energetic light weight flavors possess good cut and detail while concluding in a youthfully austere finish.' 86 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound

Benjamin Leroux Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru Tete de Clos 2017

Outstanding! 90-93 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound

'Soft wood frames the ultra-floral-suffused nose of pear liqueur, petrol and white and yellow orchard fruit. The impressively-scaled and lavishly rich big-bodied flavors possess evident muscle and power that really comes up on the bone dry and citrus-tinged finish that is so tightly coiled as to be somewhat strict. This will definitely require at least some patience and will need most of a decade to be at its best.' … more

Benjamin Leroux Corton Rouge Grand Cru 2014

2014 is just the third release of this rarity, mostly drawn from one of the last existing red vineyards planted in Le Charlemagne. Leroux tells us that he was spurred on to make this wine after a conversation with one of Corton's famous growers who lamented the fact that almost all of the Pinot vines on this south and south-western side of the hill have been grafted over to Chardonnay (much easier to sell Corton-Charlemagne than it is to sell … more

Benjamin Leroux Corton Rouge Grand Cru 2015

A discreet but not invisible application of wood frames the pronounced floral-suffused aromas of both red and dark berries along with plenty of earth, game and forest floor scents. There is excellent size, weight and power to the solidly concentrated broad-shouldered flavors that deliver fine length on the somewhat toasty finale. My sense is that the wood will ultimately be successfully integrated but it's not subtle today. 90-93pts Drink 2027+ BURGHOUND

Benjamin Leroux Gevrey-Chambertin 2015 375ml

Outstanding! Top Value!

"A relatively pretty nose combines notes of red currant, pomegranate, pinot spice and soft earth nuances. There is both fine energy and delineation to the caressing middle weight flavors that immediately tighten up on the bitter pit fruit-inflected finish. This excellent Gevrey villages should be approachable on the younger side but clearly has the stuff to reward up to a decade of cellaring."

Benjamin Leroux Gevrey-Chambertin 2017 375ml

Note: 50% from Les Seuvrées with the remainder from Billard, Fourneaux and La Justice

'Here the nose is very Gevrey in character with its earthy forest floor and humus nuances on the red and dark pinot fruit aromas. The vibrant, rich and delicious flavors possess a lovely sense of vibrancy though the firm and ever-so-slightly bitter finish comes up a bit short. This may very well harmonize as the tannins do seem ripe.' 87-89 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound

Benjamin Leroux Meursault 2017

Outstanding! Sweet Spot! 91-93 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound

'A much less expressive nose is similar if slightly spicier and a bit more complex as well. There is notably better intensity to the somewhat denser medium-bodied flavors that flash even more minerality and particularly so on the driving, balanced and beautifully harmonious finish.'

Benjamin Leroux Pommard 2017

'The 2017 Pommard Village, which comes from Les Cras and Vaumuriens, had not been racked, unlike the Volnay Village. It has a vivid, floral bouquet that conveys impressive vibrancy. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of juicy ripe dark cherry fruit mixed with boysenberries, almost Volnay-like in its roundness and silky texture. This will be irresistible in its youth.' 88-90 points, Neal Martin, Vinous January 2019
