The blend includes fruit from sites such as Maison Dieu in Pommard and Mon Poulain in Volnay, while some declassified higher-level fruit adds further depth. The 2024 vintage produced a particularly aromatic expression, combining bright red fruit with a firmer structural backbone. Leroux matured the wine in a large Grenier oak cask together with smaller barrels, preserving freshness while adding gentle texture. The result is an energetic and approachable expression of Côte de Beaune Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAromatically, the wine is led by cherries, cranberry and crushed strawberry with a distinctly perfumed quality. The palate is medium-bodied and fruit-driven, showing a sweet core of red berries supported by lively acidity and fine tannin. There is enough structure underneath the bright fruit to give the wine shape and potential for short-term development. Its oak influence remains restrained, allowing the fresh Pinot Noir character to remain at the forefront. The finish is youthful and firm, with lingering red fruit and a gently savoury edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Perfumed, bright and red-fruited\u003cbr\u003eFresh cherry, cranberry and crushed strawberry with delicate floral notes and subtle savoury complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Juicy, medium-bodied and structured\u003cbr\u003eBright red berries and cherries carried by lively acidity, fine tannins and a firm underlying structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fresh, youthful and gently savoury\u003cbr\u003ePersistent red fruit, subtle spice and fine tannin lead into a lively, structured conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Benjamin Leroux\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Burgundy\u003cbr\u003eAppellation - Bourgogne\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2024\u003cbr\u003eABV - 13%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benjamin Leroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44508346908759,"sku":"BL-BR-24","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/ec5861f3-1051-4d02-935b-dcf4bb3d478e.webp?v=1792491196","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/benjamin-leroux-bourgogne-rouge-2024","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
