Description

This cuvée is now made entirely from domaine vineyards scattered around the appellation, including Criots, Sous la Velle, Millerands, Moulin Landin and Bois de Blagny. A perfect combination of rich fruit, power and saline minerals, this is classic Meursault but with Ben’s hallmark purity and freshness. Drink 2021-2026.

"If you haven’t discovered Benjamin Leroux’s wines yet, I wholeheartedly recommend starting with this one. It has delicious notes of ripe stone-fruit, rich vanilla and toast, with refreshing acidity; it bursts with passionfruit, pear, mineral and vanilla. Unusually for the region, this is bottled with a screwcap; the wine retains a freshness that balances out the lush fruit and oak. This is a perfect wine to enjoy in the summer: it’s fantastic with whole roast salmon, or simply on its own, with a good book in the sun."

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW16/20

Lower slopes, eg Les Criots, Au Moulin Landin, Les Millerands, Au Village (all mainly clay) and some from Le Bois de Blagny (calcareous) to add tension. 100% domaine vines. A big cuvée – 12,000 bottles. Fermented and aged in a 12-hl foudre plus 600- and 300- and 228-litre barrels.

Deep, creamy spicy nose. There’s a generosity here and quite a bit of oak sweetness. An easy drinker with just enough acidity for shape. Lots of spice on the creamy finish. Gentle and generous but harmonious.

Drink 2020 - 2024
