93 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "Benjamin Leroux is a something of a specialist in red Blagny – one of the few still producing this appellation; his results make us want to taste more. The wine has a silky floral note to the bright black cherry fruit aromas, with a saline minerality underpinning the flavours. On the initial attack, the wine is approachable and inviting; with a bit of time in the glass, one sees that there is no lack of tannic grip. In all, this is an exquisite result. Drinking Window: 2025-2045. (7/7/23)" 93 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com) (Jan 2024).
90-93 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 2.2 ha parcel that is divided between .60 ha in pinot and the rest in chardonnay). Ripe, fresh and pretty aromas consist of more deeply pitched nuances of poached plum, violet and red cherry along with a plethora of spice whiffs. There is more volume and richness to the caressing and enveloping flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the chalky, dusty, balanced and sneaky long finale. At least some patience advised. Drink: 2030+. (Apr 2024)"
90-93 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Energetic mid purple, with a pure and high-class bouquet, quite tightly wound here, a darker style of raspberry, a good balance between fruit and acidity. A middleweight, attractive pinot. (Oct 2023)"
