Leroux now controls two hectares in Vosne, and the 2023 release includes the fruit of five separate lieux-dits. Importantly, these vineyards are home to excellent vine material—almost exclusively old selections of Pinot Fin. From north to south, these sites include: the superb Maizières Basses (organically farmed with 60-year-old Pinot Fin vines); a small portion of Les Violettes; a new (to Leroux) parcel of old-vine Pinot Fin in Genaivrières (just beneath Domaine Leroy’s vines); and finally, there is Les Jacquines, Au Village and Au-Dessus de la Rivière. These parcels span the village’s terroirs, and each was vinified separately. The 40% whole-bunch quota derives mainly from the northern parcels, and the blend was crafted with roughly 15% new oak.

Reviews

“Dense purple, though the nose needs and will get a freshening. The fruit though shows its paces in the mouth, with all the nobility of fine Vosne-Romanée, very sensual but with a backbone built for the long term. Delicious, and will be even better when freshened up. Drink from 2031-2036. Tasted Oct 2024.”
90-92 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
“Mid ruby. Mid weight with fine, elegant tannins. Plenty of perfume over a moderate structure. Sapid and tasty.”
