Natural cork. This is our second allocation of Leroux’s Les Cent-Vignes. Leroux has been working with a grower here since 2015. Convinced of the quality, he purchased the 0.5-hectare plot in 2021, so from next year’s release, this will be a domaine-owned bottling. The plot, on Cent-Vignes’ brown grèze litée gravels, is planted to two parcels. There’s a section of 50-year-old vines, as well as a young plot planted in 2016. Leroux told us that the blend of the two parcels is complementary; the old vines bring depth and intensity, while the younger vines contribute freshness. Les Cent-Vignes is one of the first vineyards you encounter if you’re heading west out of Beaune. Leroux told us he is delighted to be working in the appellation and would welcome more sources “without hesitation”. Along with the brilliant wines of David Croix, we are delighted to be offering another top grower’s wines from Beaune. It is certainly an underrated village, now on the rise.
