Description
Benjamin Leroux’s 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières (Dessous) is a Côte de Beaune white made from 100% Chardonnay sourced from the lower section of the Genevrières climat in Meursault. The wine typically shows ripe orchard fruit and white-flower aromas supported by a chalky, mineral-driven frame and lively acidity, reflecting Leroux’s domaine approach to this premier-cru site. Through 2016 Leroux released distinct ‘Dessus’ and ‘Dessous’ bottlings in 750 ml, with later vintages presented under a simplified labeling scheme.
