The 2015 Benjamin Leroux Échezeaux Grand Cru is a beautifully refined and sensual expression of Grand Cru Burgundy from one of the Côte de Nuits’ most respected modern négociants. Benjamin Leroux, former winemaker at Comte Armand, has become one of Burgundy’s elite producers by combining meticulous vineyard sourcing with a restrained, terroir-driven style that emphasizes purity over excess. His 2015 Échezeaux comes primarily from the lieu-dit Vignes Blanches and was crafted with roughly one-third whole-cluster fermentation and about 50% new French oak, resulting in a wine that balances richness with aromatic lift and finesse. The wine is intensely aromatic, offering layers of raspberry coulis, wild strawberry, red currant, rose petal, spice, black pepper, and subtle earth tones. Critics consistently praised its elegance and texture, with Neal Martin giving it 93–95 points, calling it “very fine and very classy,” while Vinous highlighted its “terrific finesse” and perfumed finish. Burghound also noted its concentration and refined tannic structure, emphasizing that despite the ripe 2015 vintage, the wine maintained freshness and precision.
