The 2023 Benjamin Leroux Grand Cru Bâtard-Montrachet Magnum (1500ml) is a remarkable Chardonnay from one of Burgundy's most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards. Produced in limited quantities and presented in a magnum format, it showcases Benjamin Leroux's precise, terroir-driven winemaking. The nose is complex and refined, offering aromas of ripe citrus, white peach and pear, layered with toasted hazelnut, delicate white flowers and flinty mineral notes.
On the palate, it is rich yet beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity supporting flavours of orchard fruit, lemon curd and subtle oak spice. A creamy texture and pronounced mineral character lead to a long, focused finish, while the magnum format provides outstanding potential for slow, graceful ageing.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional choice for Burgundy collectors and Chardonnay enthusiasts seeking one of the region's finest Grand Cru expressions. Best enjoyed with roasted lobster, scallops, turbot in beurre blanc or roast chicken with creamy mushrooms. Drink now with decanting or cellar confidently for the next 15–20 years.
