2020 Bourgogne Rouge, Benjamin Leroux

A marvelous result, with a lovely plummy fruit, a hint of mineral and a bit of spice. The texture is totally Burgundian - light, ephemeral, but hauntingly long on the palate. Produced from a variety of parcels that total 3ha. The fruit is carefully fermented and aged in large oak uprights without racking. The origin of the fruit here is all Côte de Beaune. The wine is raised two- thirds in foudres, one-third in barrel. This is an accomplished and pretty example of the vintage: juicy, perfumed and with pure red-fruit notes.
