Benjamin Leroux Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers 2021

Benjamin Leroux Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers comes from 40-year-old Pinot Fin vines mid-slope in one of the most highly regarded premiers crus of the village.

Les Cazetiers is ranked with Clos Saint-Jacques and Lavaux Saint-Jacques among the finest premiers crus of Gevrey-Chambertin. The 8.43-hectare vineyard climbs steeply directly above the village, flanked by Clos Saint-Jacques on one side and Combe aux Moines on the other, and its wines are known for refinement and precision rather than sheer weight. Jasper Morris describes good Cazetiers as giving a feeling of refinement and precision with intellectual as well as vinous appeal. Benjamin Leroux, who made his name at Comte Armand before establishing his own house in Beaune, farms a mid-slope plot here planted to 40-year-old Pinot Fin on what he calls a gorgeous terroir. The vines have been worked biodynamically for several years. The wine is bottled under natural cork.

Best given five to ten years in the cellar; serve at 16–18°C with roast duck, coq au vin or aged Gruyère.
