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.

Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, Leroux`s 2014 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a powerful nose with much more tropical scents than I would expect from this vintage. mango and passion fruit, a touch of orange rind with time. The palate is rich on the entry with that mango/passion fruit theme continuing and the wood nicely integrated, but it just does not quite deliver the mineralité or tension you would expect. Not bad at all, but here it was surpassed by some of its peers. - Neal Martin
