The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges Village is a mixture of four parcels that are usually bottled separately. It has a tightly wound bouquet that does not quite deliver the panache of the Vosne-Romanée at this stage. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, quite masculine in style although I would like to see a little more fruité on the stern finish. It needs to forage more charm.
Producer
Maison Benjamin Leroux
Young, talented, and more than ambitious winemaker, Benjamin Leroux has finally said goodbye to his role as head vintner at Domaine Comte Armand in Pommard, and instead, decided to follow his own dream. Following his multi-national oenology studies, he began purchasing organic fruit back in 2007 to produce his own wines, and his passion and reputation has just grown exponentially since. Focusing exclusively on his négociant since June 2014, it has grown into a rather large producer of Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, he even acquired some vineyards of his own. As one of the most gifted wine growers in the whole Côte d’Or region, he is also one of the most knowledgeable of the Burgundy appellation. He works closely with vineyards that produce amazing fruit, regardless of the estates’ reputations or connotations.
