A good crop from domaine vines below Meursault, in fact more volume in 2021 than 2022. Clear pale lemon and lime. A beautiful nose, classical elegance, fine boned, juicy with a light greengage note. Very well balanced. Drink from 2024-2027. Tasted: October 2022.

Screwcap. As followers of Domaine Comte Armand will know, Leroux has considerable pedigree with this variety. This year’s release is solely from a parcel of 50-year-old Estate-grown fruit in Meursault’s Les Belles Roses. This site is home to Aligoté Doré, the high-quality, low-yielding cultivar of this variety which takes on an ochre colour when fully ripe. Picked three weeks later than the Bourgogne Chardonnay parcels, the 2019 was naturally fermented and the aging was all in seasoned 12-hectolitre ovals.
