Leroux’s wine from this small 1er Cru comes from an 0.3-hectare, organically managed parcel in Le Porusot Dessus, the section of the vineyard bordering Genevrières. It’s an east-facing site with very little topsoil. Most of the fruit comes from a parcel of 1930 vines that produce tiny, concentrated berries (the remaining portion is from 25-year-old vines). This is a site known for producing layered and earthy Meursault (see Germain and Jobard) and Leroux’s example is, as always, one of his most intensely mineral whites.
