The vines date to the mid-1970s and grow in rocky limestone soils with pockets of flint, giving the wine a naturally cool, mineral-driven character. The 2024 shows lemon, green apple and white pear alongside white peach, citrus zest, chalk and subtle saline notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, with vibrant acidity supporting layers of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate stone fruit. Lemon, green apple and white peach are complemented by a pronounced chalky mineral character, subtle saline notes and gentle floral nuances. The wine is taut and focused, with a fine grip through the mid-palate that gradually gains weight without losing its freshness. A restrained savoury and flinty character adds further complexity, leading to a dry, long and persistent finish with excellent mineral length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay drinkers who enjoy precise, mineral-driven Meursault with freshness and understated richness. The 2024 is youthful and tightly focused, but its acidity, concentration and structure give it excellent potential to develop additional nutty, savoury and honeyed complexity with bottle age. Best enjoyed from around 2028–2038. Serve lightly chilled with seared scallops with brown butter, butter-poached marron, grilled turbot with beurre blanc, roast chicken with morels, lobster, or mushroom and leek risotto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eInfo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"846\" style=\"height: 119.563px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 333.514px;\"\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left; width: 339.646px;\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 333.514px;\"\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 339.646px;\"\u003eBenjamin Leroux\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 333.514px;\"\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 339.646px;\"\u003eChardonnay\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 21.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 21.5938px; text-align: center; width: 333.514px;\"\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 21.5938px; width: 339.646px;\"\u003eWhite Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 333.514px;\"\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 339.646px;\"\u003e2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 333.514px;\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left; width: 339.646px;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benjamin Leroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67888303931707,"sku":"26398-750","price":299.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2024BenjaminLerouxMeursaultLesVireuils.png?v=1793705006","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2024-benjamin-leroux-meursault-les-vireuils","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
