WINE DESCRIPTION

Benjamin Leroux Pommard Premier Cru 'Rugiens Hauts' is a highly sought-after wine produced by Benjamin Leroux, a renowned winemaker in Burgundy. The wine comes from the Pommard appellation, which is known for producing some of the finest Pinot Noir wines in the world. The vineyard features steep slopes and limestone-rich soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is elegant and complex, with notes of red fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. It has a silky texture and a long, lingering finish, making it a perfect choice for special occasions or pairing with rich, flavorful dishes.
