2022 ムルソー、ラ・ピエス・スー・ル・ボワ、プルミエ・クリュ、バンジャマン・ルルー
これは、シャルドネ畑2.2ヘクタールのうち1.5ヘクタールを所有するバンジャマンにとってのフラッグシップ・ワインです。気候変動の進行に伴い、標高の高い畑の重要性が増すという彼の直感は、見事に実を結んでいます。ワインはスティール感のある引き締まった印象で、スパイスのニュアンスとミネラル感が力強く口中を捉えます。樹齢約60年の古木も含まれており、熟成にはガラス製のワイン・グローブや新しい卵型フードルなど、さまざまな容器が用いられています。

Once again, a trace of exotic fruit lurks in the background of the markedly more floral-suffused scents of white peach, citrus confit, and lychee. The medium-bodied flavours have excellent volume and density, rich to the point of opulence while maintaining a fine balance on the nicely dry and chalky finale. This could easily be enjoyed young or successfully cellared for up to a decade. Drink 2030
From vines farmed but not owned. Clear pale lemon. Ripe apples, a light lemon rinse, then a very steely core through the middle, full of energy, racy and stylish at the same time, with a fine long finish. Racked to foudre to finish its elevage. Drink 2028 - 2035
This delicious Meursault Premier Cru has retained a gratifying freshness even in this hot year from the top of the slope lower elevations are planted to Pinot Noir). Its notes of lemon peel, flint, and fresh white flowers are overlaid with a smoky, reductive quality. The texture is lively and bright; the wine was finished in foudre on the fine lees to preserve its fresh appeal. The grapes come from Leroux’s 1.7ha of Chardonnay at almost 360m. Drink 2025 - 2045
