Tasting notes
About 3,000 bottles made. One third from Meursault and Puligny vineyards. The rest is from the edge of the village – always the same vineyard. Imported by Becky Wasserman in the US and distributed by Verity in NYC. Pure and vital. Lemon oil but not heavy. Racy. Serious stuff. Very clean. GV (JR)

The 2010 Bourgogne Rouge(from tank) is a fleshy, supple wine laced with floral red fruits, best suited for drinking over the next few years. Leroux's Bourgogne is made from declassified fruit from the Santenay 1er Cru La Comme and a 1er Cru fruit from St. Aubin.
The 2010 Bourgogne Rouge (from tank) is a fleshy, supple wine laced with floral red fruits, best suited for drinking over the next few years. Leroux’s Bourgogne is made from declassified fruit from the Santenay 1er Cru La Comme and a 1er Cru fruit from St. Aubin. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2016. I continue to be impressed with the wines Benjamin Leroux is making under his own label. Leroux sources fruit from a number of top vineyards in the region. The wines are made in a facility Leroux shares with Nicolas Rossignol in the center of town. Unfortunately the 2010 Bonnes-Mares was too reduced to evaluate.
