A small portion of purchased fruit from the Hautes Côtes de Beaune above Pernand-Vergelesses is included to add lift and aromatic tension. In total, the blend comes from six parcels, all vinified and matured in large casks and foudres to preserve freshness and site expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"432\" data-end=\"776\"\u003eUnlike many Bourgogne Blancs sourced from lower, flatter ground across the Côte, Leroux’s holdings sit on the lower slopes of Meursault, just beneath village-level sites but still on the upper side of the D974. This positioning gives the wine a natural balance between ripe Meursault-like fruit and the cooler energy of higher altitude parcels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"778\" data-end=\"1178\"\u003eThe 2023 shows a generous but controlled profile, with white orchard fruit and subtle yellow fruit tones building across the palate. There is a light reductive edge on opening, which gives way to a juicy, flowing mid-palate supported by adequate acidity and a clean, balanced finish. It delivers clear Bourgogne-level accessibility while still carrying the imprint of Meursault’s structure and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"778\" data-end=\"1178\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“From their own vines. Pale in colour and slightly reductive. A little fresh apple behind. White fruit fills out across the palate, sufficient acidity, then a juicy yellow fruit kicks in to extend the finish. Generous but balanced. Drink from 2026-2029.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1444\" data-end=\"1447\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e88 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"appellance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50278992838849,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3428\/0897\/files\/Benjamin_Leroux_Bourgogne_Blanc_2023.webp?v=1780228434","url":"https:\/\/appellance.com\/products\/benjamin-leroux-bourgogne-blanc-2023","provider":"Appellance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
