The fruit is drawn primarily from Meursault vineyards, Les Millerands, Sous la Velle and Les Belles Côtes, supplemented by parcels from the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. These sites, planted on limestone-rich soils, give a wine of mineral tension and layered fruit. Fermentation and ageing in large neutral oak casks add gentle texture and breadth while preserving brightness and purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"966\" data-start=\"602\"\u003eThe 2023 vintage highlights Leroux’s deft touch with Chardonnay. Vibrant stone fruit and citrus notes sit within a framework of fine acidity and subtle oak influence, creating a wine that feels both accessible and refined. It speaks of its Meursault heritage through supple texture and quiet power, yet remains precise and energetic,a hallmark of Leroux’s style. Each cuvée is handled with restraint and care, reflecting a belief in transparency of terroir over cellar artifice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1777\" data-start=\"1409\"\u003eThe Bourgogne Blanc 2023 exemplifies this vision. It delivers the tension, depth and mineral drive of its Meursault sources, offering exceptional definition for its level. Elegant now for its freshness and focus, it also promises further complexity with short-term cellaring, underlining Leroux’s reputation for crafting regional wines of genuine pedigree and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1166\" data-start=\"1052\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1069\" data-start=\"1052\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1072\" data-start=\"1069\"\u003eNOSE\u003cbr data-end=\"1079\" data-start=\"1076\"\u003e– Fresh and lifted\u003cbr data-end=\"1100\" data-start=\"1097\"\u003eApple, citrus and white fruit with a subtle savoury, mealy edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1290\" data-start=\"1168\"\u003ePALATE\u003cbr data-end=\"1177\" data-start=\"1174\"\u003e– Mineral and balanced\u003cbr data-end=\"1202\" data-start=\"1199\"\u003eWhite orchard fruit layered with yellow stone fruit, acidity and a clean mineral line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1410\" data-start=\"1292\"\u003eFINISH\u003cbr data-end=\"1301\" data-start=\"1298\"\u003e– Juicy and persistent\u003cbr data-end=\"1326\" data-start=\"1323\"\u003eYellow fruit lingers with freshness and energy, finishing generous yet restrained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1716\" data-start=\"1412\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1435\" data-start=\"1412\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1438\" data-start=\"1435\"\u003e\u003cem data-end=\"1667\" data-start=\"1438\"\u003e“Pale in colour and slightly reductive.
