Benjamin Leroux 'Sous le Château' Saint-Romain 2022

This is from three plots within, arguably, the village’s best vineyard; south-facing with limestone soil. Made half in foudres and half in a mix of 600-litre and 228-litre barrels, there is 10% new oak. The nose has ripe citrus and white peach fruit with a subtle, struck match reduction. Creamy, rich fruit and tangy acidity make this an eminently drinkable wine.
