Benjamin Leroux is one of Burgundy's most promising young winemakers. Leroux is best known for the wines he makes at Comte Armand, one of the reference-point properties in the Côte de Beaune. Since 2007 Leroux has made wines under his own label using a micro-négociant model that has become increasingly popular in Burgundy. Leroux sources fruit from some of Burgundy's top sites and bottles an eye-popping 27 different wines, most in 2-3 barrel lots. I also tasted a number of 2009 whites. Readers will find those notes on this site. The whites are aged in 300-liter barrels. Leroux goes for a tight, mineral-driven style, with no stirring of the lees. Leroux's passion, ambition and sheer talent have already resulted in a number of stunning, beautiful wines, but my sense is that the best is yet to come.
