Description
After establishing his name by leading Domaine Comte Armand Clos des Epeneaux for eight years, Leroux has started a négociant business in 2007 to make wines under his own label, in a winery that he shares with Dominique Lafon.
The Production is very limited and Leroux is determined only to work with vineyards that have been well managed and produce outstanding fruits from interesting and unjustly under rated terroirs.
He carefully selects his growers and exerts maximum control over them, converting them as possible to organic and biodynamic practices. Even if Benjamin is known to be a technical master of oenology, he keeps a very instinctive approach of winemaking and an open mind towards every technics, he perceives biodynamic as a flexible philosophy rather than a rigid credo and he chooses what he thinks is the best at each step.
Tasting Notes
The 2023 Meursault Les Vireuils has a tightly wound bouquet that’s fairly neutral in style compared to the Meursault Village and just needs to find its voice. The palate is better with bitter lemon and orange rind on the entry, linear in style, with a touch of spice on the aftertaste.[87-89, Neal Martin, November 2024, vinous.com]
