Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay
| Vintage: | 2021 |
|---|---|
| Description: | The Bourgogne Blanc is a mini-Meursault this year and is drawn almost entirely from estate fruit. The vineyards are Les Millerands, Sous la Velle and Les Belles Ctes, with each parcel well sited on the Cte. Unlike the vast majority of Bourgogne (from the foot of the hill, and across the D974), Lerouxs vines are grown on limestone-rich terroirs, situated below the villages level vines of Meursault. There is also a little bit of fruit from Vosne-Romane. Racked to tank in July, from foudre and 600 litre barrels. Almost all the grapes come from around Meursault. Excellent balance here with a line of concentration through the middle. Perfectly judged ripeness, more in white fruit. Textbook example, just a little oak toast but the fruit is the driver.
