This is now a flagship wine for Leroux, who works 1.5 of the 2.2 hectares of Chardonnay available. Leroux’s vines average 50 years old and are biodynamically certified. This is perhaps Ben’s most extreme and rocky terroir. While it lies at high altitude (320 to 350 metres) and endures bitterly cold winters, the vineyard picks up plenty of sun during the summer. Listening to Leroux talk about Blagny, he clearly loves the Saint Aubin-style terroir. He used various aging vessels for this release, including a glass WineGlobe and a new egg-shaped foudre.
