The Wine:
This year’s wine is drawn from Leroux’s estate vineyards in Meursault—including Les Millerands, Sous la Velle and Les Belles Côtes—supplemented by a tiny parcel of purchased fruit from the Hautes Côtes de Beaune above Pernand-Vergelesses. There are seven parcels in total, and everything matured in large cask and foudre. Unlike the vast majority of Bourgogne (from the foot of the hill and across the D974), Leroux’s estate vines grow on lower slopes of the Côte, situated below the village-level vines of Meursault. This is a gorgeous, pithy white with good texture and sweet fruit yet equally good cut and racy freshness. Delicious to gulp down, indeed!
