Branching out to launch his own label in 2007, young talented winemaker Benjamin Leroux honed his craft at Burgundy's famed Domaine Comte Armand.
Starting his wine studies in Beaune at the age of 13, Leroux moved on to become manager of Domaine Comte Armand at just 26, a position that he still maintains while running his own label. Drawing from his own parcels and purchased fruit from selected growers, Leroux crafts a wide range of small-batch Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from a variety of appellations throughout the Côte-d'Or. Over half of these vineyards are organic or biodynamic and none are under the influence of herbicides or pesticides.
A respectful relationship between Leroux and his growers ensures that he controls important details such as low yields and ripeness levels. He is considered by his contemporaries in Burgundy as one of the region's most influential winemakers.
