One of the very first Médoc second wines. Connétable was created in the 1970s. Over the years, it has benefited from all the care given to the vineyard and increasingly stringent selections.

This wine is crafted from 100% Riesling grapes, showcasing the varietal's characteristic elegance and complexity.

Vivid, pure citrus expression with a mineral character, like the squeeze of a just-picked Meyer lemon over an oyster-shell, laced with white floral notes. Linear in its youthful exuberance, it shows a fabulous core of dense citrus and orchard fruit, with a lemon-oil richness underpinning the fruit that maintains a...

Benjamin Leroux made his reputation as régisseur of Domaine du Comte Armand before launching his own négociant house in 2007. Unlike most négociants, Leroux works directly with organic and biodynamic growers, managing vine cultivation to ensure quality from the start.

Leroux’s Bourgogne Rouge has long been one of the benchmarks for how good regional Burgundy can be, and the 2023 release is no exception. This year’s blend pulls fruit from some excellent sites – Maison Dieu in Pommard, Mon Poulain in Volnay, and Les Belles Côtes in Meursault – with...

For this cuvée, Ben uses some of his own fruit from Meursault along with grape purchases from the Côte d’Or (including Vosne-Romanée) and the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. Given the warmth of the year, the Hautes-Côtes fruit brings some freshness to the blend. Some of the wine was aged in Wineglobe...

Well-endowed with impressive depth and concentration, particularly evident in the mid-palate which is weighted by crushed stones and earthen minerality. Elongated tannins are crisp while acids are firm and tangy. Those capable of looking past its...

2020 was the second in two very warm, very dry vintages in the Barossa, but despite the conditions, I have found many of the wines to show vitality and energy in their fruit spectrums. The fruit for this 2020 Shiraz Alice's is from Seppeltsfield in...
