He grew up in Beaune, where his parents ran a flower shop on the Place Carnot. There were no vines in the family. He enrolled at the town's lycée viticole at fifteen, and at twenty-four was handed the direction of Domaine du Comte Armand in Pommard, where he stayed for fifteen vintages before founding his own domaine and négoce in 2007. He now vinifies close to thirty hectares running from Chassagne-Montrachet to Gevrey-Chambertin, eight of them his own, certified organic since 2016 and worked biodynamically. He pushes for the same degree of care in the vineyards he buys from. In a full vintage that comes to some fifty separate cuvées. \"It takes more time and more energy to work these plots,\" he says. \"It fills me with energy, too. Touching so many different terroirs. I don't feel as though I am losing my time.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is sourced from two hectares across three lieux-dits on the sandy soils of Savigny: Les Saucours, Aux Fournaux, and Ez Connardises, planted between 1955 and 1990 and farmed sustainably. The fruit macerates fifteen days and ferments with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is aged fourteen months in barrel before bottling without fining or filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWild strawberry and cranberry, cracked black pepper, and an iron-tinged finish. Drink through 2032.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yes Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52226252243240,"sku":"AT24LEROUXSAVIGNY750","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/1794\/6152\/files\/BenjaminLeroux_Savigny-les-Beaune.jpg?v=1786559619","url":"https:\/\/yes-society.com\/products\/2024-benjamin-leroux-savigny-les-beaune-burgundy-france","provider":"Yes Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
