[SOLD-OUT] Benjamin Leroux Vosne-Romanee 2019

 

"One is struck immediately by its deep colour and then the rich, sweet mulberry fruit on the nose. On the palate the texture is silky and light, but with enough weight to give it a very elegant appearance. One-third was fermented as whole clusters and while some of the barrels have been racked, the rest will age over the winter. After fermentation there has been no additional sulphur used and yet the fruit is bright and immediate." - Decanter

 

"The new barrel component has been racked. The colour is a fresh mid purple, with lots of energy on the nose, and class too, with a very refined raspberry fruit, and a super succulent, but refined feel throughout, and a lifted finish. Really well balanced." - Jasper Morris

 

"The two core parcels here, Maizières Basses and Les Violettes, are both organically farmed plots with 60-year-old Pinot Fin vines. Both also lie on the Flagey side of the village, close to Clos Vougeot. The fruit from both of these vineyards was fermented entirely as whole bunches, while the harvest from a third parcel, Aux Raviolles, was entirely destemmed. Aux Raviolles lies at the opposite end of Vosne, under the northern 1er Crus of Nuits-Saint-Georges.

From 2019 Leroux will be working with three hectares in Vosne and his understanding of the village is really starting to shine through. This is just a beautiful wine: fine, pure and juicy with a silky, seductive mouthfeel and good structure on the finish." - Bibendum
