Region, Country Meursault, France
Bottle Size 750ml
Product Code 26397-750

The Meursault is an Estate wine, based on Leroux’s own vines in Moulin Landin, Les Criots, Bois de Blagny and Les Millerands, along with Clos du Village, a parcel he acquired in 2017. Bois de Blagny sits higher and adds a mineral edge to the fruit from the lower-lying sites. These vines are certified organic and biodynamic, with some dating back to 1944. Fermentation and maturation take place in 300-litre and 600-litre barrels before the wine is racked to foudre and stainless steel to finish aging. We’re going to be raving a lot about the whites because they deserve it, and this is stunning. Again, you could easily imagine “1er cru” on the label and, just like magic, it would have a higher score. Wine like this is why we drink white Burgundy.

Reviews

“The usual blend, all of their own vines, though Bois de Blagny has since been pulled out. Ben will go for wider rows with higher training and some agroforestry. Pale lemon yellow. The Meursault blend has a really refined nose, and is fine boned on the palate with just the right generosity of fruit. Balanced ripeness, balanced acidity and then just an extra little kick of concentration. Drink from 2028-2032. ”

“The 2024 Meursault Village has a quite mineral-driven bouquet that is rather Puligny-like in style. This opens nicely in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a keen thread of acidity, quite tensile and full of energy with a touch of ginger on the finish. This should be great value.”
