Description

Burgundian native Benjamin Leroux is one of the brightest minds and winemaking talents of his generation.

Considered a winemaking prodigy from an early age, Leroux attended the Lycée Viticole in Baune at the tender age of 13. Then, at the age of just 26, he ascended to the roles of manager and winemaker in the famed cellars of Domaine Comte Armand - a remarkable vote of confidence in one so young.

These wines speak eloquently of where they come from. A legend in the making, Leroux's wines are some of the most exciting in modern-day Burgundy.

2022 Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Aligote

Once an underdog in Burgundy, Aligoté is having its moment, and Benjamin Leroux has been at the forefront of its renaissance.

His 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté is a prime example of this variety’s potential, sourced from two remarkable old-vine parcels, including a 50-year-old vineyard in Meursault’s Les Belles Roses and ancient vines in Bouzeron (some over 100 years old!). These are no ordinary Aligoté vines—they’re Aligoté Doré, known for their low yields and incredible concentration.

Fermented and matured in a mix of seasoned oak and glass Wine Globes, this wine has a creamy texture that’s beautifully balanced by vibrant freshness. The 2022 release showcases exceptional poise and length, with layers of citrus and stone fruit, all underpinned by a clean, mineral edge.

It’s mid-weight, but don’t let that fool you—it has serious drive and elegance that make it a benchmark Aligoté. Snap it up quickly; it sells out every year.

Five Star Wine
Benjamin is one of the new intake of the Aligoteurs group. Is that why he has serves his Aligoté at the end? Pale in colour with a light green tint. A wonderful fragrance. Fresh pears, a little greengage, a bevy of different fruits, in fact with an appealing acidity to finish and excellent length.”
- 88-90 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

2022 Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Blanc

This wine is one of the best possible places to start if you're wandering into the wonderful land of white Burgundy.

Sourced from a selection of prime vineyard sites across Meursault—including notable parcels like Les Millerands, Sous la Velle, and Les Belles Côtes—this wine reflects the quality and precision that Leroux brings to all his cuvées. There’s also a touch of fruit from the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, adding a layer of freshness and vibrancy.

What sets this Bourgogne Blanc apart is the level of care Leroux applies. The wine is matured in large oval-shaped casks and foudres, where it rests on its lees over winter, allowing the wine to build texture and complexity. The result is a Chardonnay that balances richness and finesse—a honeysuckle-scented nose gives way to a citrus-driven palate with notes of nougat, almond, and subtle minerality.

Unlike many generic Bourgogne Blancs, this wine benefits from being grown on the lower slopes of the Côte, where it enjoys a superior terroir beneath the village-level vines of Meursault. It’s a beautifully textured wine, offering both sweet, ripe fruit and a pithy, refreshing cut. The bright acidity and creamy structure make it both refreshing and satisfying, perfect for drinking now but with enough depth to evolve over the next few years.

Whether you’re new to Burgundy or a seasoned fan, this is an exceptional introduction to the region’s white wines—bursting with character and offering far more complexity than the label suggests.

"White nectarine and blossoms, mix of orchard fruit and almonds, woody spice, yoghurty creamy palate with nuttiness and grapefruit-cinnamon finish. A bit of cereal crunch. Pretty wine with a pretty flavour."

2022 Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Rouge

Benjamin Leroux has once again delivered a standout Bourgogne Rouge that punches well above its weight.

The 2022 vintage draws fruit from key parcels across Burgundy, including the revered vineyards of Maison Dieu in Pommard, Mon Poulain in Volnay, and Les Belles Côtes in Meursault, with a dash of village-level fruit from Monthélie for extra finesse. This meticulous sourcing shines through in a wine that’s all about precision, depth, and elegance.

Whole-bunch fermentation was reserved for Leroux’s homegrown plots, bringing an added layer of texture and spice. Maturation in large Grenier oak casks has lent the wine a beautiful balance of structure and refinement.

It's the length, precision and extension of flavour that sets this apart from other Bourgogne Rouge. This is no clumsy, fumbling Burgundy, but an athletic wine of tension with red fruits and rosy floral notes to burn.

A must-try for lovers of Burgundy’s finer side.

92 points
"Light fruited, savoury, forest berries and forest floor, some black fruit too and dark earth, light impact but super drinkable, adding dried mushrooms extract in the finish, bitterish/coffee-like."
- Kasia Sobiesiak (The Wine Front)

2022 Benjamin Leroux Savigny-les-Beaune

Benjamin Leroux's village level wines, particularly in the reds, are outstanding, with the Savigny-les-Beaune representing possibly the best value among them.

It shows power and sophistication not far off many 1er reds in the region, this release showing a particularly linear palate with a floral, musky nose, pure red fruit crunch and some light herbal notes from some well-managed whole bunch.

This offers gorgeous drinking now and will cellar beautifully for the next decade or more.

93 points
This one has lots of umami extract, ripe raspberries and some black fruit, iodine staining the palate, graphite tannin, sage and juniper berries a la bitter/spicy herb. Serious flavour.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
