Sourced from carefully selected old-vine parcels across the appellation, this Pinot Noir offers a superb expression of Savigny-Lès-Beaune's charming and approachable style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince establishing his own domaine in 2007, Benjamin Leroux has earned international acclaim for producing terroir-driven Burgundies of exceptional finesse. Working closely with trusted growers alongside his own vineyard holdings, he applies meticulous vineyard selection and minimal-intervention winemaking to preserve the individuality of each site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated just north of Beaune, Savigny-Lès-Beaune is renowned for producing elegant, perfumed Pinot Noir with bright red fruit, silky tannins, and excellent ageing potential. The 2023 vintage benefited from a long, balanced growing season, allowing the grapes to achieve outstanding ripeness while retaining freshness and vibrant natural acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes were hand-harvested and carefully sorted before gentle fermentation using indigenous yeasts. Maturation in French oak barrels, with a modest proportion of new oak, enhances texture and complexity while allowing the purity of the fruit and vineyard character to remain the focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bouquet is lifted and expressive, revealing aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, complemented by notes of rose petals, violets, forest floor, subtle spice, and crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, combining vibrant red berry fruit with silky tannins, lively acidity, and a fine mineral backbone. Elegant and persistent, the finish reflects the hallmark precision and transparency of Benjamin Leroux's wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproachable in its youth, the 2023 Savigny-Lès-Beaune will continue to gain complexity over the next 8–12 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Benjamin Leroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Savigny-Lès-Beaune, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Burgundy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roast duck, quail, roast chicken, pork tenderloin, wild mushroom dishes, and soft-ripened cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bibendum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52213307375918,"sku":"5382022791","price":149.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/2023BenjaminLerouxSavigny-Les-Beaune750ml.png?v=1781742095","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2023-benjamin-leroux-savigny-les-beaune-750ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
