Domaine Comte Armand
Pascal Marchand has now moved on after 15 years at Comte
Armand. During his time in charge he completely transformed the
domaine, elevating its ranking to that of the greatest estate in
Pommard. His place has been taken by Benjamin Leroux who has been
working part time at the domaine during his studies since 1991.
Benjamin Leroux, still in his thirties and newly married to an English girl from Silverstone, has been in charge at Comte Armand since 1999. He is one of Burgundy's most vociferous advocates of bio-dynamic viticulture (with a particular interest in lunar cycles) and his No 1 spot in Bourgogne Aujourd'hui magazine's Top 10 for the next decade came as no surprise.
Cuvée of Auxey Duresses comes from purchased grapes from three different vineyards on the flank of the hillside where Auxey takes over from Meursault. The wine is aged in larger barrels so as not to show too much oak. The cuvée is named for an ancestor of the Comte Armand’s, Nicolas Marey, who bought extensive vineyards just after the French revolution.
Comte Armand's Pommard Clos des Epéneaux must surely be considered among the great red wines of all Burgundy. But don't be in a hurry to drink it.

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. Low yields in 2008 enabled the grapes to ripen fully, so Ben Leroux was able to include a few stems in the vinification process. This is fresh and delicious with a really pretty Volnay nose and a lovely crunch to the fruit. Drink 2012-2015 . Jancis Score: 17/20 | ||||

We first offered this wine last year and it won admirers from the very start. This year we have taken a significant step and asked for the wine to be bottled in a stelvin closure. This is wonderfully fragrant and an exemplary model of white Burgundy. It’s drinking beautifully now and will ... MORE Drink 2008-2012 . | ||||

Benjamin Leroux may be barely 30 but is already spoken of as one of the brightest stars in the Burgundy firmament. He has taken the reputation of this renowned Pommard estate to new heights but it is his skill with lesser appellations such as Auxey Duresses which marks him out as a true ...

Less immediately intense than the Auxey-Duresses this wine is softer and ultimately more stylish. Displaying a delicious, classic Volnay bouquet which brims with softly scented red cherry fruit, the wine has just enough tannic structure on the palate to enable it to develop complexity over the ...
