Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Blanc 2019 Brand_Pol Roger making an exhilarating contrastThe Bourgogne Blanc is a mini Meursault this year and drawn almost entirely from Estate fruit. The vineyards are Les Millerands, Sous la Velle and Les Belles Ctes, with each parcel well sited on the Cte. Unlike the vast majority of Bourgogne (from the foot of the hill, and across the D974), Lerouxs vines are grown on limestone rich terroirs below the villages level vines of Meursault, joined by some fruit from the Hautes Ctes above Pernand
