2023 Benjamin Leroux Côtes de Nuits Villages

JASPER MORRIS MW 89 : From Comblanchien. Mid ruby purple, with a light reduction. Elevage in foudres and then bottled in August. Starts fine and elegant then gains stuffing further back, with good grip at the finish. The heady aromatics which denote the Côte de Nuits are readily apparent, and a fine juicy cherry and strawberry fruit finish. Drink from 2027-2031. Tasted Oct 2024.
