Benjamin Leroux Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Baudines 2023

Yet another Leroux classic, the 3.6-hectare Les Baudines vineyard sits high up on the slope, near the tree line on the southwestern border of Chassagne. It’s essentially a continuation of Les Embazées but sits higher on the hillside, on poorer soil, with a higher limestone content. It’s a very cool site with mostly white, rocky clay soils—a terroir perfectly aligned with Leroux’s desire to produce fine-boned, chiselled Chassagne. Leroux’s vines were planted in the 1980s.
