Benjamin Leroux, Savigny-Les-Beaune, 2023

Benjamin Leroux’s Savigny-lès-Beaune 2023 is a graceful expression of Burgundy Pinot Noir, combining brightness, finesse, and an unmistakable sense of place. Sourced from selected parcels in the commune, it reflects the lighter, more elegant style that has made Savigny-lès-Beaune such a prized appellation for lovers of refined red Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
This wine shows a beautiful pale, luminous ruby color in the glass, immediately hinting at its delicate style. The nose is lifted and expressive, with fresh red berries, violets, undergrowth, and damp autumn leaves, layered with subtle floral nuances. On the palate, it is juicy and silk-textured, with precise acidity and beautifully integrated tannins. Flavors of summer red berries, tart cherries, and unripe plum are supported by earthy notes of wet forest floor, rose garden, and fresh wild mushrooms. While already charming in its youth, it has the structure and balance to evolve gracefully over the next few years.

Production
The grapes come from carefully selected plots in Savigny-lès-Beaune, an appellation known for its limestone-rich soils and terroir that tends to produce wines of lift, freshness, and aromatic purity. Harvesting is carried out with attention to preserving fruit quality and site expression, allowing the character of the commune to shine through in the finished wine. Vinification is handled with a Burgundy-focused approach that aims to emphasize elegance, precision, and transparent fruit rather than heavy extraction.

Food & Serving

It is also an excellent match for soft cheeses and can be served slightly cool, around 14–16°C. Decanting is optional but can help the wine open up if enjoyed young.
