NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Benjamin Leroux Gevrey-Chambertin is a beautiful French Burgundy from the village of Gevrey-Chambertin.It offers a complex nose of dark fruits, earth, and leather with a hint of spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, displaying intense flavors of red and black cherries, currants, and plums with hints of licorice and earthy minerality. The tannins are firm, yet elegant, and the finish is long and lingering. This is a great example of Gevrey-Chambertin, showing power and finesse in equal measure.
