Benjamin Leroux Nuits Saint Georges 2021

Benjamin Leroux has a gentle touch with his red wines, deftly coaxing the most pleasurable parts out of each pocket of Burgundy that he works with.

For the Nuits-Saint-Georges, historically perhaps a more structured and at times rigid communes on the Côte-d'Or, Leroux finds softness and finesse.

This vintage, the assemblage is evenly divided between Aux Saint-Jacques and Aux Herbues, situated along the Vosne border, and a plot located in the northern section of Fleurières, just to the south of the town.

Extremely limited.

"All in deep red fruit, not too plummy, a balanced and consistent overall Nuits-St-Georges.” - Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy)

"There's a little fleshiness here with a savory, tobacco-tinged finish.” - Neal Martin (Vinous)
