The story
Benjamin Leroux trained at the Beaune school of oenology and gained international experience. Mid-career he served as régisseur at the renowned Domaine Comte Armand; since 2007 he has run his own business as a négociant/own label, operating from a modern winery in Beaune and building an extensive portfolio of wines by purchasing and vinifying grapes from various crus of the Côte d'Or.
Production philosophy
Pursuit of purity and terroir transparency: Leroux interprets each wine as a reflection of its place and vintage, adopting organic/biodynamic agricultural practices where possible and varying cellar techniques according to the cru and the harvest to preserve the fruit's identity.
