The Meursault is an Estate wine, based on Leroux’s own vines in Moulin Landin, Les Criots, Bois de Blagny and Les Millerands, along with Clos du Village, a parcel he acquired in 2017. Bois de Blagny sits higher and adds a mineral edge to the fruit from the lower-lying sites. These vines are certified organic and biodynamic, with some dating back to 1944. Fermentation and maturation take place in 300-litre and 600-litre barrels before the wine is racked to foudre and stainless steel to finish aging. We’re going to be raving a lot about the whites because they deserve it, and this is stunning. Again, you could easily imagine “1er cru” on the label and, just like magic, it would have a higher score. Wine like this is why we drink white Burgundy.
