Leroux works around 1.5 hectares here, with vines averaging roughly 50 years of age and older parcels approaching 60 years. Situated at approximately 320 to 350 metres, the vineyard combines cool conditions with strong summer exposure, helping preserve freshness while allowing full flavour development. The site’s limestone-rich soils give the wine a pronounced mineral character and a firm structural backbone. In 2024, the result is a precise, energetic white Burgundy that balances ripe fruit with impressive tension and persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe élevage incorporates several vessel types, including traditional oak alongside a glass Wineglobe and an egg-shaped foudre, helping preserve the wine’s vibrancy while adding texture and complexity. Aromatically, the wine shows fresh citrus, ripe apple and floral notes with subtle lees-derived character. The palate has significant weight but remains lifted by firm acidity and a clear limestone-driven mineral line. Nectarine and clementine bring brightness and detail, while a restrained spicy element emerges towards the finish. The overall expression is concentrated yet refined, with enough structure and length to reward several years of bottle development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fresh, floral and mineral\u003cbr\u003eLemon, ripe apple and citrus blossom with subtle lees, stone and delicate spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Concentrated, taut and energetic\u003cbr\u003eRipe apple, nectarine and clementine carried by lively acidity, fine weight and a firm limestone mineral core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, focused and persistent\u003cbr\u003eCitrus, ripe orchard fruit and lightly spiced mineral notes linger through a structured, mouth-watering conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Fresh lemon in colour.
