Benjamin Leroux Meursault 2023 6-bottle-case Offering juicy blackberryThe Meursault is an Estate wine, based solely on Lerouxs own vines in Moulin Landin, Les Criots, Bois de Blagny and Les Millerands. Theres also some Clos du Village, one of the new parcels in Meursault that Leroux picked up in 2017. These sites are mostly lower in the village, but Leroux also used fruit from the higher white marls of Bois de Blagny, which brings drive and a salty mineral backbone to the layered fleshiness of the other Meursault fruit.
