Benjamin Leroux Meursault Blagny 1er Cru ‘La Piece Sous le Bois’ 2022

14% abv

Vol- 75cl

Ben farms 1.5 of the 2.2 hectares of Chardonnay available. Fermented and raised mostly in 300-litre barrels, it’s then racked into foudres before the following harvest. The altitude here imparts a tangy freshness and chalky finish to what is a concentrated and juicy expression of Meursault.

“The 2022 Meursault-Blagny La Pièce Sous Le Bois 1er Cru had just been racked. It has one of the best aromatics amongst Leroux’s Meursaults: full of vigor and tensile with light grilled walnut and almond scents. The palate is well-balanced with fine weight, a keen thread of acidity and plenty of extract towards the finish. I can see this aging well in bottle.” 90-92 points, Neal Martin, Vinous, Oct 2023

Having created a name for himself as regisseur (general manager) of Domaine du Comte Armand in Pommard, Benjamin Leroux established, with English backing, a small negociant business based in Beaune since 2007. The range is confined to the Cote d’Or, from Chassagne-Montrachet to Gevrey-Chambertin, with the intention of developing farming contracts or indeed purchasing vineyards in the future. The possibilities are very exciting for this exceptionally talented vigneron. Benjamin is a master at delivering purity of fruit alongside a seamless texture in his wines which have only the subtlest influence of oak. One of Benjamin’s favourite locations for white wine vineyards is the border between Auxey-Duresses and Meursault, which is where Les Vireuils can be found. Here the natural weight of Meursault is enhanced by the fresher minerality typical of the side valley of Auxey-Duresses.
