Lying just below Champeaux and beside Brochon, this limestone-rich lieu-dit enjoys cool airflows and excellent drainage, yielding Pinot Noir of clarity and mineral drive. Its east-facing aspect captures the morning sun, preserving freshness and precision even in warmer years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1387\" data-start=\"851\"\u003eIn 2023, Benjamin Leroux bottled En Champs separately to highlight its distinct terroir and near–Premier Cru pedigree. The old vines, deeply rooted in fractured limestone and clay, produce small, concentrated berries that bring both richness and fine-grained structure. Fermentation included around 40% whole clusters for floral lift and spice, with gentle extraction and cool maceration maintaining purity and tension. Élevage took place in large-format barrels with approximately 20% new oak, adding quiet complexity without weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1762\" data-start=\"1389\"\u003eOnly six barrels were produced, making this one of the most limited wines in Leroux’s cellar. The result is a Gevrey-Chambertin of impressive precision and depth, with layers of red and black cherry, crushed stone, and a long, saline finish. Built for ageing over the next decade, it captures the essence of northern Gevrey, generous, detailed, and effortlessly refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"916\" data-start=\"790\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"807\" data-start=\"790\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"810\" data-start=\"807\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"817\" data-start=\"814\"\u003e– Dark and lifted.\u003cbr data-end=\"838\" data-start=\"835\"\u003eRipe plum and black cherry with mineral and herbal nuances from whole bunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1031\" data-start=\"918\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"927\" data-start=\"924\"\u003e– Structured and fresh.\u003cbr data-end=\"953\" data-start=\"950\"\u003eGenerous fruit layered with fine tannins, crisp acidity and stony precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1139\" data-start=\"1033\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1042\" data-start=\"1039\"\u003e– Long and mineral.\u003cbr data-end=\"1064\" data-start=\"1061\"\u003ePersistent red and black fruit with chalky grip and northern Gevrey bite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1634\" data-start=\"1385\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1408\" data-start=\"1385\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1411\" data-start=\"1408\"\u003e\u003cem data-end=\"1585\" data-start=\"1411\"\u003e“Extra generosity of plum fruit across the palate, then a few more tannins, but with fine length and structure.
