Described by Parker as “the reference point for Burgundy…among the noblest and purest expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Burgundy”, Leroy’s wines are legendary, as is its history. Founded in 1868 by wine merchant Francois Leroy in Auxey-Duresses, Maison Leroy continued to expand throughout the 19th century. The family purchased half of Domain de la Romanee-Conti in 1942. For decades, the remarkable Lalou Leroy ran the family’s negotiant business for decades before taking over winemaking in 1988. Practicing sever pruning and crop-thining, Leroy produces extremely low yields, but wines with supreme concentration. The 2018 Maison Leroy Bourgogne Blanc will be an impressive introduction to one of the most prestigious names in the whole of Burgundy. Like a well composed novel, the wine opens with fresh apricot, honeysuckle and river rock. Secondary notes unfolded to taste of honey, vanilla and nuance of melted butter. Each note has its own resonance yet blended masterful to create a full experience of this wine.

Varietal Chardonnay

Of all the white wine grape varietals, surely the one that has spread the furthest and is most widely appreciated is Chardonnay. This green-skinned grape is now grown all over the Old and New Worlds, from New Zealand to the Americas, from England to Chile, and is one of the first varietals people think of when considering white wine grapes. Perhaps this is because of its huge popularity, which reached a peak in the 1990s, thanks to new technologies combining with traditional methods to bring the very best features out of the Chardonnay grape and allow its unique qualities to shine through. Most fine Chardonnay wines use a process known as malolactic fermentation, wherein the malic acids in the grape juice are converted to lactic acids, allowing a creamier, buttery nature to come forward in the wine. No grape varietal is better suited to this process than Chardonnay, which manages to balance these silky, creamy notes with fresh white fruit flavors beautifully.
