The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Meursault is a beautifully layered and finely structured Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most celebrated white wine villages. Crafted in Benjamin Leroux’s restrained and terroir-focused style, the wine balances Meursault’s natural richness and texture with freshness, mineral precision and subtle oak integration. The nose reveals lemon curd, white peach and ripe pear layered alongside toasted hazelnut, white flowers and delicate wet stone notes, giving the wine impressive depth and elegance.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity, silky texture and a finely detailed mineral core. Layers of citrus, orchard fruit and gentle lees complexity are balanced by saline freshness and subtle nutty richness, finishing long, poised and beautifully persistent with excellent balance and refinement.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Meursault is a superb village Burgundy — textural, mineral and beautifully refined with classic Meursault depth and finesse. Perfect with lobster, roast chicken, scallops, creamy mushroom dishes or soft washed-rind cheeses. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar through 2040+.
