Maison Benjamin Leroux - 'Sous le Château' Saint-Romain 2023

White wine

Region: Burgundy

Appellation: Saint-Romain

Grape: 100% Chardonnay 

Leroux’s Saint-Romain label is a 0.6 hectares in the lieu-dit of Sous le Château. Organically farmed, the three parcels—of which the most famous is Fort Champagne—average around 50 years. The stony, rugged soils are typical of Saint-Romain’s terroir, yet the site is well-protected from the northern winds, and the plethora of stones on the soil’s surface radiate heat. Vinification was half in foudres with the remainder crafted in 600-litre barrels, WineGlobe and amphorae.
