About this wine
Benjamin Leroux 1er Cru Rugiens Hauts, Pommard
Benjamin Leroux is widely considered one of the most gifted winemakers of his generation, bringing a thoughtful and precise approach to the legendary Rugiens Hauts vineyard. Located in the heart of Pommard, this site is famed for producing wines with significant power and longevity. Leroux handles the fruit with care, often utilising a mix of new and seasoned French oak to ensure the vineyard's distinct character remains the focal point of the glass.
The winemaking focuses on purity and structural integrity. Rugiens Hauts is often cited as the most "Grand Cru" in character of all the Pommard Premier Crus, and Leroux captures this through controlled fermentations and careful skin contact. The result is a wine that balances the natural strength of the appellation with a refined elegance that is a hallmark of the Leroux style.
On the nose, expect a concentration of dark berries, violets, and earthy minerals. The palate is defined by its firm, upright tannins and a core of red and black fruits that evolve into savoury notes of iron and spice. This is a wine built for the cellar, showing a muscular frame that softens into a complex and harmonious expression of Burgundian terroir over time.
