Unlike much Bourgogne-level fruit planted on flatter ground beyond the D974, these vines occupy the lower slopes of the Côte below the village-level vineyards of Meursault. This privileged sourcing gives the wine considerably more depth and mineral definition than its regional appellation might suggest. The 2024 combines delicate Chardonnay fruit with citrus freshness, orchard-fruit nuances and a lightly maritime character. It is an elegant, finely proportioned introduction to Benjamin Leroux’s precise style of white Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine was matured using a combination of approximately 50% large oak, 25% Winglobe glass vessels and 25% used barriques, allowing texture to develop while preserving freshness and purity. The nose is subtle and refined, showing apple blossom, gentle Chardonnay fruit and a hint of sea spray. On the palate, citrus and light orange-pith notes emerge alongside crisp orchard fruit and fine mineral tension. The wine remains middleweight and balanced, with restrained oak influence and refreshing acidity shaping its structure. Its understated concentration, clarity and persistent finish make it both approachable young and capable of gaining further nuance over the next few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Delicate, floral and maritime\u003cbr\u003eGentle Chardonnay fruit, apple blossom and fresh citrus with subtle sea-spray minerality and restrained oak complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Balanced, fresh and finely textured\u003cbr\u003eCitrus, light orange pith and orchard fruit are carried by lively acidity, a supple middleweight texture and fine mineral definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Clean, gentle and persistent\u003cbr\u003eFresh citrus and subtle mineral notes linger through a poised, understated and refreshing finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Benjamin Leroux\u003cbr\u003eStyle - White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Burgundy\u003cbr\u003eAppellation - Bourgogne\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2024\u003cbr\u003eABV - 13%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benjamin Leroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44508197748823,"sku":"BL-BB-24","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/c2beb966-4b6b-45cb-a367-64d22dd92036.webp?v=1792489502","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/benjamin-leroux-bourgogne-blanc-2024","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
