Natural cork. In generous years, Leroux can vinify five Nuits-Saint-Georges wines: this blend of climats; a village lieu-dit Les Allots; and three Premier Cru wines from Les Cailles, Aux Thorey and Les Boudots. This year’s blend is a roughly equal split between Aux Saint-Jacques and Aux Herbues on the Vosne border, and a parcel in the northern part of Fleurières, just south of the town. It should come as no surprise that Leroux’s Nuits tastes nothing like the classic rugged stereotype. Instead, you can expect the kind of supple elegance and poise this grower brings to all his wines.



Benjamin Leroux Nuits Saint Georges 2021

Reviews

“From Fleurieres, Herbues and Aux St Jacques, bright crimson purple, and not too ripe in fruit profile, this has an excellent structure with just the right tannins and correct acidity. All in deep red fruit, not too plummy, a balanced and consistent overall Nuits-St-Georges.”
90-92 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
“The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges les Boudots 1er Cru is a little more closed than the Les Cailles, slightly earthier in style and opens with dark berry and subtle Earl Grey scents. The palate is medium-bodied with an edgy opening and fine acidity. There's a little fleshiness here with a savory, tobacco-tinged finish. Fine, though the Les Cailles has a little more panache.”
