WINE DESCRIPTION

Benjamin Leroux Meursault 'Les Vireuils' is a premium white wine produced by Benjamin Leroux, a renowned winemaker in Burgundy. The wine comes from the Meursault appellation, which is known for producing some of the finest Chardonnay wines in the world. The vineyard features limestone-rich soils and is located on a gentle slope, which provides excellent drainage and optimal sun exposure. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in used oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is elegant and refined, with a beautiful balance of fruit, acidity, and minerality. It is a perfect representation of the classic Meursault style, with a long and satisfying finish.
