2020 Benjamin Leroux Meursault 1er Cru La Pièce Sous Le Bois

Benjamin Leroux’s 2020 Meursault 1er Cru La Pièce Sous Le Bois is a finely judged white Burgundy from one of Meursault’s most prized premier cru sites. Made from Chardonnay in the 2020 vintage, it combines the richness and precision the appellation is known for with Leroux’s elegant, site-driven style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright golden hue with lively clarity. The nose is nuanced and expressive, offering white flowers, ripe orchard fruit, citrus peel, hazelnut, and a subtle mineral edge, with the vintage bringing extra concentration and energy. On the palate, expect a layered Meursault profile: generous yet poised, with notes of pear, lemon curd, stone fruit, toasted almond, and a fine chalky tension that keeps everything in balance. The wine should age beautifully, gaining depth, savouriness, and complexity over the next several years.

Production
La Pièce Sous Le Bois is a premier cru vineyard in Meursault, where limestone-rich soils and a cooler, well-exposed site help shape wines of both texture and freshness. Benjamin Leroux is known for careful vineyard work and a restrained approach in the cellar, typically focusing on harvesting at optimal ripeness and vinifying to preserve purity, balance, and terroir expression.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roast chicken, turbot, lobster, scallops, creamy mushroom dishes, or fine poultry with a rich sauce. Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider brief decanting if enjoyed young to help the aromas open up.
