The Batârd-Montrachet Benjamin Leroux 2014 is a Grand Cru white Burgundy from the Côte de Beaune. Leroux`s holding in this prestigious vineyard is a small parcel of 0.16 hectares on the Chassagne side of the appellation, with vines planted in 1960. The wine displays concentrated, plush fruit with ripe apricot and subtle spices, with a core of brisk, refreshing acidity that carries through to an intense, persistent finish. While needing extended bottle age to fully harmonise, the 2014 vintage offers a refined and precise expression, showcasing the balance and fine definition that made the year a surprising success for the Côte de Beaune`s top white wines.
