Leroux only produced only between 500 and 600 litres from this tiny parcel in 2020. The terroir in Au Dessus is rockier than the rest of the vineyard, resulting in a very mineral expression with great perfume and freshness, and less overt fat. The vines in 2020 produced tiny bunches and berries, which were fermented with 70% whole bunches. This wine is racked early from new wood into a two-year-old barrique.

Reviews

“Gorgeous mid purple, brilliant bouquet, dancing alpine raspberry, this shares with the Caillerets and Boudots an ethereal quality despite the ripeness of the vintage, yet the finish brings you the necessary intensity and now a little darker fruit after the initial floral highlights. Very fine indeed.” 93-96 points
Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
crunchy red fruit, yes, a little stemmy, but there is great depth and cohesion on the finish. Superb.” 93-95 points
