At 24 he became manager of Domaine Comte Armand in Pommard, where over 15 vintages he introduced organic and later biodynamic viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLeroux established his own project in 2007, working with growers across the Côte d’Or while developing his own vineyard holdings. His approach is deliberately site- and vintage-specific: careful hand sorting, tailored maceration and a range of ageing vessels are used according to each parcel, with the aim of preserving purity, balance and terroir expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Benjamin Leroux\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burgundy, Côte de Beaune\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Savigny-lès-Beaune AOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Les Saucours, Aux Fournaux and Ez Connardises\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sustainable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWine Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweetness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambient yeast; 10–15% whole bunch; 15-day maceration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 months in barrel; approximately 10% new oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unfined and unfiltered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2028–2031\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kingsbury Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53902875361643,"sku":"3379871163","price":141.75,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2024_Benjamin_Leroux_Savigny_les_Beaune_750ml.png?v=1790225968","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/products\/2024-benjamin-leroux-savigny-les-beaune-750ml","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
