Maison Leroy Bourgogne Blanc 2018 750ml

From the legendary Bourgogne house of Leroy. One of the best values in this portfolio is the Maison Leroy Bourgogne Blanc. Do not be deceived by the designation. While Lalou Bize Leroy never reveals the source of the grapes, it is known that these are usually grapes from villages and 1er Cru plots, and she blends each vintage to best represent her wines for that vintage. From the cooler 2017 vintage, this is tight and compact, with lemon, light cream, broken stones, and a hint of lemon verbena that stretches long along the svelte palate, finishing with a hum of limestone and wash of salinity. This humble wine grows as it opens in the glass, so give yourself time to fully enjoy. Smart now, and with time ahead in the cellar.
