Clos de la Roche Benjamin Leroux 2016 is a Grand Cru red wine from Morey-Saint-Denis. The wine reflects the vineyard’s depth and structure, showing dark cherry, plum and gentle spice over a subtle earthy base. Tannins are firm but finely textured, giving shape to the ripe fruit without heaviness. Acidity provides clarity through the mid-palate, emphasising the wine’s mineral edge and freshness. Ageing has brought integration rather than softness, and in magnum the wine retains focus, promising further refinement with time.
