Benjamin Leroux Saint-Romain Sous le Château 2022

Benjamin Leroux's Saint-Romain comes from half a hectare of organically farmed vines in the lieu-dit Sous le Château.

Saint-Romain lies west of Meursault in a rocky amphitheatre at the top of the Côte de Beaune, higher and cooler than its neighbours, which has made it one of the more interesting white appellations of recent years. The holding is split into two parcels of 60- and 20-year-old vines. Soils are stony and rugged in the manner typical of the commune, but the site is well sheltered from the northern winds, and the stones scattered across the surface radiate heat back into the vines through the day. Vinification was split evenly between foudres and 300-litre barrels, neither of which leaves much mark, so the wine is fleshy and open while keeping the racy cut the appellation is known for.

Drinking well now and for four or five years; serve at 10-12°C with grilled prawns, roast chicken or a fresh goat's cheese.
