2023, Maison Benjamin Leroux, MEURSAULT, 'Les Vireuils'

The 2023 Meursault Les Vireuils has a tightly wound bouquet that's fairly neutral in style compared to the Meursault Village and just needs to find its voice. The palate is better with bitter lemon and orange rind on the entry, linear in style, with a touch of spice on the aftertaste. 87-89 Neal Martin, Vinous (Nov. 2024).

Their own plot of 0.75ha. Slightly troubled still after racking. A nuttier note to the nose, less ready. Good acidity here, some hillside tension and good length. Not in as ready a state to taste, but very promising and with a long finish. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Oct 2024. **** 90-92 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy.
