Benjamin Leroux

A sample pack of the elite 2022 Burgundies from the young phenom Benjamin Leroux. Extremely limited.

This is not your average Bourgogne Blanc. Leroux draws almost entirely on his own Meursault holdings here—parcels like Les Millerands, Sous la Velle and Les Belles Côtes—so while it carries a modest regional label, the quality speaks clearly of its origins. A little fruit from the Hautes Côtes de Beaune above Pernand adds lift, but the heart of the wine is very much rooted in Meursault. Fermented and raised in large-format oak and foudres, the 2023 captures the freshness and balance of the vintage. The hot spell in early September was neatly avoided thanks to Leroux’s early picking, and the wine has that hallmark precision and energy that runs through all his whites this year. There’s generosity of fruit, sure, but it’s held firmly in check by bright acidity and a clean mineral line. Quantities, as always, are scarce, and it’s one of those wines that consistently outperforms its humble label. A great way to experience Leroux’s style without stepping into premier cru territory.

Regional Burgundy with Pommard, Volnay and Meursault pedigree behind it, this shows why Leroux’s Bourgogne Rouge is one of the best-value buys in his cellar.

Old-vine fruit on the Meursault border, smartly timed picking and Leroux’s precision touch make this one of the most reliable bargains in his cellar.

Old-vine Aligoté Doré from Meursault, crafted with Leroux’s trademark precision into one of the most refined and sought-after examples of the variety.

Built around old-vine Aux Fourneaux and lifted by fruit from Saucours, this is a classy, well-balanced Savigny that shows Leroux’s touch and excellent value for a Côte de Beaune red.

Certified organic old vines across prime Meursault terroirs give a wine that marries generosity with a mineral edge, making it one of the sharpest-value entries into Leroux’s white portfolio.

A small-production Nuits-Saint-Georges from Comblanchien, combining bright fruit, fine structure and Leroux’s trademark precision at a price that’s hard to beat.

A finely judged Volnay 1er Cru from old vines in the heart of the appellation, offering lifted fruit and savoury depth with the balance that makes 2023 so exciting.

A tiny-production Pommard from old vines in the heart of Rugiens-Hauts, marrying the vineyard’s natural power with Leroux’s hallmark precision and finesse.

From one of Gevrey’s greatest crus, Leroux delivers a tiny-production Pinot that balances depth and refinement with a clear sense of place.

From a rocky, high-slope parcel of 1955 vines, this is a concentrated yet mineral Chassagne that easily justifies its “baby Chevalier” reputation.

High-altitude, rocky terroir meets Leroux’s precision to deliver a tense, mineral-driven premier cru with real personality and scarcity on its side.
