Benjamin Leroux Vosne-Romaneee 2022
Leroux now controls two hectares in Vosne, and the 2022 village wine benefited from the fruit of six separate lieux-dits. Importantly, these vineyards are home to excellent vine material—almost exclusively old selections of Pinot Fin. From north to south, these sites include: Maizières Basses (organically farmed with 60-year-old Pinot Fin vines); a small portion of Les Violettes; a new-to-Leroux parcel of old-vine Pinot Fin in Genaivrières (just beneath Domaine Leroy’s vines); and finally, there are Les Jacquines, Croix Blanche and Au-Dessus de la Rivière. These parcels span a range of the village’s terroirs, and each was vinified separately. The one-third whole-bunch quota derives mainly from the northern parcels, and about 10% of the grapes fermented directly in a 450-litre barrel that was rolled instead of punched down (vinification intégrale). Crafted with roughly 15% new oak, the 2022 is a superlative expression of the commune.
