The blend brings together fruit from lower-lying sites with the cooler, more mineral influence of higher vineyards such as Bois de Blagny. Some of these vines date back to the 1940s, contributing additional depth and concentration to the finished wine. The vineyards are certified organic and managed biodynamically, reflecting Leroux’s longstanding emphasis on soil health and precise site expression. In 2024, the wine shows an especially refined balance between ripe fruit, energetic acidity and the characteristic generosity of Meursault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation takes place in 300-litre and 600-litre barrels, followed by further maturation in foudre and stainless steel to preserve freshness while building texture. The nose combines ripe orchard fruit, citrus peel and restrained floral notes with a subtle mineral edge. On the palate, the wine is fine-boned yet generous, with golden apple and citrus carried by bright acidity and an underlying chalky tension. A gentle ginger-like spice adds complexity towards the finish without overwhelming the purity of the Chardonnay fruit. The result is poised and energetic, offering immediate appeal alongside the concentration and structure needed for further bottle development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Refined, ripe and mineral\u003cbr\u003eGolden orchard fruit, citrus peel and delicate floral notes with subtle chalky minerality and restrained oak complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fine-boned, generous and energetic\u003cbr\u003eRipe apple and citrus carried by vibrant acidity, supple texture and a focused mineral core with a gentle touch of spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Persistent, fresh and finely structured\u003cbr\u003eCitrus, orchard fruit and subtle ginger-like spice linger over chalky minerality and a clean, energetic finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“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. ”\u003c\/em\u003e — Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, 90–92 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“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.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Neal Martin, Vinous, 89–91 Points\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 - Meursault\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2024\u003cbr\u003eABV - 13%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eClassification - Village\u003cbr\u003eCertification - Organic, Biodynamic\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benjamin Leroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44508233007191,"sku":"BL-MEUR-24","price":279.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/e00f4f66-e632-4bca-8efc-28c2f8732509.webp?v=1792489847","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/benjamin-leroux-meursault-2024","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
