The Winery

Leroux, Benjamin

Ben takes a domaine philosophy, focused on establishing and maintaining contracts with growers who work for top quality vines and fruit rather than seeking prestigious appellations. Ben and his team carefully guide the vineyard work, for the most part carried out by the owners. Vines are plowed and are at least lutte raisonnée, while many are organic or biodynamic. When Ben deems necessary, his team carries out green harvest themselves. All vines are harvested by Ben’s team and grapes are sorted at the winery in Beaune. Ben’s cuverie is fit with state of the art equipment.

Tasting Notes

WA92–94
The 2012 Mazoyeres-Chambertin Grand Cru has a very pure bouquet with scents of black plum and freshly tilled soil and lavender: broody but complex. The palate has a structured entry that exerts a gentle grip, with lovely bay leaf and even clove notes complementing the dark berry fruit. Nice delineation on the foursquare finish – this is a captivating Mazoyeres.
