The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru was also performing brilliantly, exhibiting aromas of cherries, wild berries and cassis mingled with smoked meats, rich soil tones and spices. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered and velvety, with fine concentration, ripe structuring tannins and lively acids. Multidimensional and complex, this is an excellent Chambertin from Leroux.
The 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.
