Benjamin Leroux Pommard 2022

FINE BUT WITH A MOUTHFILLING PALATE, A PINOT NOIR FROM A PRODUCER WELL ACCUSTOMED TO POMMARD TERROIR

 

"A powerful mid purple, with a bouquet to match. All in dark berry fruit but with a slightly muscular quality. Much more generous on the palate, fills out extremely well, covering the framework. Perfectly judged oaking too.” - Jasper Morris 

 

"Having been the manager of Comte Armand for 15 years, Benjamin Leroux knows a thing or two about producing great Pommard! The new release is a blend of three different locations. Les Cras and Les Vaumuriens-Hauts lie on the Volnay side of the village, and Leroux notes the cooler, hillside fruit from Vaumuriens brings freshness and balance to the naturally warmer Cras.

This year, Ben got his hands on some fruit from the highly prized village location of Petits Noizons, facing south on the shallow limestone soils at the top of the hill. Across the three parcels, about half of the bunches were retained.Four barrels were produced, including one new 450-litre barrel. The result is a super, fine-boned Pommard with dark cherry, anise-scented fruit, a kiss of sweet oak and a long, powdery close." - Winery
