2022 Bourgogne Blanc, Benjamin Leroux

Description

This wine is from seven parcels under Millerands and Sous la Velle, and from Belles Côtes further north. The Hautes Côtes fruit from just above Pernand-Vergelesses is returned to the blend this year. Everything is aged in foudres and 600-litre barrels. The wine is fresh, but is more based on intensity, with a lovely, mealy mouthfeel at the end.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin 84-86/100

The 2022 Bourgogne Blanc has a fresh lime and grapefruit-scented bouquet. The palate has good weight - quite a textural Bourgogne Blanc with a slightly honeyed texture and a straightforward malic finish. Drink two or three years after bottling.

Ripe and fresh aromas of petrol and various white orchard fruit give way to succulent, plump and delicious middleweight flavours that conclude in a clean, moderately dry and refreshing finale. To enjoy young.

Currently in tank, being fined in preparation for bottling. Pale colour with a reductive note. A plentiful exuberant juicy fruit, with some fresh citrus behind. Racy finish, this will be delicious to gulp down.

About this wine

Bourgogne

Bourgogne

In the Burgundy hierarchy, “Bourgogne” denotes the entry level of the classification system. This is a so-called “regional” appellation, theoretically covering the entire vineyard area of Burgundy. This is distinct from the more geographically precise village-level, Premier Cru and Grand Cru designations. The two most common Bourgogne-level wines are Bourgogne Blanc (“White Burgundy”) and Bourgogne Rouge (“Red Burgundy”).
