Benjamin Leroux’s journey to becoming one of Burgundy’s most respected winemakers began with his apprenticeship under legends like Dominique Lafon of Domaine des Comtes Lafon and Pascal Marchand at Domaine du Comte Armand. Clos de la Roche is one of Burgundy’s most storied vineyards, and in Leroux’s hands, it becomes a grand cru of rare elegance. This wine is layered and complex, with a texture that’s both supple and structured. The magnum size allows guests to appreciate its nuances over the evening, adding a touch of splendor always welcome at an annual occasion.
