Bourgogne Blanc Maison Leroy 2017 (750ML)

94 Points, Zachys Buying Team: "Zachys number one selling white Burgundy returns. It is another unique opportunity to experience the fruit of Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, and Savigny from the hands of the Burgundy master with some price relief, especially when you consider that the Domaine Leroy Corton-Charlemagne commands more than $5,000 a bottle - if you can find it. This is classic white Burgundy that offers approachability with its lush generosity of rich fruit and texture, balanced by high-toned energy, creating harmony that only Burgundy can deliver with the noble varietal. It is a wine that is constantly evolving in the glass, taking you on a trip with each sip while once again revealing nuances of honeyed or ripe golden apples, pear, grapefruit. white flowers, spice and just the right salinity and minerality that lingers for a drying and energetic finish. It is another bottle from Leroy that will satisfy old world Chardonnay lovers and certainly convert new world enthusiasts. This is a wine that offers immediate appeal today with its generous, almost silk-like texture and clean, pure fruit with its saline touch that is very representative of the celebrated and classic 2017 vintage. Perfect for the upcoming holiday season."
