Domaine Leroy
Bourgogne Chardonnay
Burgundy, France
All day long, every damn day. Rock solid entry level Leroy that will age gracefully. Solid core of clean fruit and some chalk on the finish.

Pop and pour; overfilled, signs of seepage as before. Very much in the zone. On the nose: soft noble reduction, preserved lemon, thyme, cucumber, mint, and a hint of almond. On the palate: fantastic acidity, density that is off the charts, yet simultaneously weightless, wet stone, lemon oil, bitter herbs, grapefruit pith, and lovely tang on the dense finish. Yum. Sadly, last btl.

Delicious. Especially when purchased out of a Cuban gas station/restaurant.

Multilayered nose; long, deep, pretty. Crisp and rich but not quite as intriguing in the mouth. Excellent value though.

An outstanding White Burgundy. Pears and peaches.

Aug 21st, 2022Nothing like my previous btls, and truly splendid...holy btl variation! As always, overfilled and showing seepage and a completely soaked cork. On the nose: noble reduction, lemon oil, fresh herbs, so aromatically compelling. On the palate: very good acidity, loads of wet stone, lime, lime oil, excellent density. Perhaps slightly clipped on the wet stone, and black pepper finish, but peu de chose. Very good.

Jan 5th, 2021had a great experience with the ‘11 so was surprised that this one was off balance. may have been something wrong with the bottle or cork.

Dec 27th, 2019Got a few of these at auction and the corks were all seeped through. Fortunately the wine seems ok. A lot of SO2 on the first night. Pretty disappointing. Came back to it two days later (just corked in the fridge) expecting to dump it and found a delicious and balanced wine instead.
