Berry Bros & Rudd, Bourgogne Côte d'Or Pinot Noir by Benjamin Leroux, Burgundy, 2018

A new addition to the Berry Bros own-label range for 2019, this elegant Burgundy is made by talented young vigneron Benjamin Leroux, who sources Côte d’Or Pinot Noir grapes from very old vines planted in a declassified Chorey-lès-Beaune vineyard. Fresh raspberry and cherry aromas lead to a palate with more raspberry and redcurrant fruit, supported by light, fine-grained tannins and beautifully delicate oak from maturation in old barrels, giving just a whisper of spice. A fine line of acidity underpins it all: delicious!
