Benjamin Leroux is a highly-respected négociant and vigneron based in Beaune, widely considered one of Burgundy's most talented winemakers. After managing the prestigious Domaine du Comte Armand for 15 years, he established his own label in 2007, building a reputation for precise, elegant, and vibrant wines. Leroux meticulously sources grapes from top growers, while also farming his own estate holdings organically and biodynamically. His expansive portfolio offers a transparent expression of the Côte d'Or's diverse terroirs, from village-level wines to Grand Crus.

About the cuvee:

This vineyard belongs to Jean-Charles, Ben Leroux's right hand man. It has been in his family for generations and he farms it himself with the precision and care of a proud father. It is completely enclosed by walls, but also surrounded on three sides by buildings of the village of Volnay, making it a uniquely sheltered terroir despite its higher altitude.

Jasper Morris:

"Mid purple. A delicious perfume on the nose, some ripe raspberry alongside the cherry notes of the vintage. Just a little dry patch in the middle before the fruit returns behind, in a more persistent finish. Drink from 2029-2034. Tasted Oct 2025."
