2023, Maison Benjamin Leroux, CLOS DE VOUGEOT, Grand Cru, 'Petit Maupertuis'80% whole bunch vinification. Rich bright purple with a heady, characterful nose. This is very exuberant, heady deep red fruit bouncing cheerfully across the palate, and though there are tannins the structure is not too massive. Drink from 2033 2040. Tasted Oct 2024. **** 94 96 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy.

Gorgeous fragrance and florality on the nose with ripe and perfumed black fruit and some peony touches

One of the standouts of the vintage

It has an alcohol of 13

but it will just require considerable cellaring

Deep purple-black in colour

was not touched by the hail in June

white flowers

It's elegant and refined with polished red berry fruits and saline minerals guided by brisk acidity

and it will still knock you over with its complexity and grace

The 2022 Sociando-Mallet is a bit hard to read today

the 2020 is somewhat more restrained

it cannot qualify as Crémant du Jura and is simply labeled Vin de France
