Leroux’s three barrels of Chambertin are drawn from a parcel of old, biodynamically farmed vines in the heart of Le Chambertin. The 2023 was vinified with 80% bunches. Australia’s allocation is limited to six magnums! This is utterly magnificent: deep and true, yet with an otherworldly elegance. One-third new oak this year, including one barrel pre-seasoned with white before filling.

Reviews

“Fresh mid purple. A really refined exquisite nose, it is the balance that makes this really fine, with a taffeta texture, that makes Chambertin. Not the most intense that I have ever tasted but this is fine nonetheless, with immaculate length. Drink from 2033-2045. Tasted Oct 2024.”
94-97 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
“Benjamin Leroux’s 2023 Chambertin is immensely successful. Although initially a bit shy, the wine blossoms on the palate with dense black fruits and hints of liquorice, rosemary, and earth. The texture is firm and muscular, with immense extract, firm tannins, and plenty of length. The fruit is purchased as grapes and very gently fermented to avoid over-extraction. The purity of fruit on the finish is exemplary; with time this will be among his great successes.”
