Calling Benjamin Leroux a micro-negotiant, while strictly accurate, belies the incredible relationships with growers he's cultivated throughout the Cote d'Or. His knowledge of the region is encyclopedic. He works organically or biodynamically and guides every grower, every plot, every harvest. Jean Marc Roulot was heard recently to say that he doesn't know anyone in Burgundy making both Chardonnay & Pinot Noir at Ben's level.

Benjamin Leroux Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2016

Leroux’s Corton-Charlemagne comes from a tiny 0.12-hectares plot in En Charlemagne on the Pernand side of the hill, where the vines were planted in the late ‘70s. Two barrels out of four were new. The 2016 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru was sporting a small reduction on the nose though there is plenty of fruit underneath. The palate is quite powerful and voluminous, waxy in texture with a touch of orange rind on the slightly short finish.
