Decanted and tasted blind.
An excellent showing from Leroux, some bottles over the last 5 years have been hit and miss.

Another 4th Friday for the books!

Smoked hazelnut on the nose, salted pear and lemon; lanolin and lemon peel on the palate...tart and acidic without being overbearing. Almost sulphuric on the finish. Really impressed. Great bottle

There were some real high velocity white wines on the table tonight, yet the one I think I probably consumed the most of was this one. To me, the 13 Aubert was second by a hair. Classic white burgundy. Herbal, Terroir driven. Hint of banana bread, almond, melon and Asian pear. Very balanced, and finished with nice acidity and rounded structure. This was beautiful all by itself, but I can imagine how good it would be with local cuisine. A baby!

Auxey-Duresses Chardonnay 2015

Nutty, powerful lemon curd fruit, palate walks fine line of texture and acidity with impressive balance. Great drink ... perhaps ever so clumsy to finish. — 9 years ago

La Piece Sous le Bois Blagny 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2017

Wow! J'ai recherché la cuvée après avoir entendu Benjamin Leroux en parler dans le podcast de Levi Dalton (I'll drink to that). Il était particulièrement enthousiaste pour ce climat en altitude (pour la Bourgogne, on s'entend), lequel est très majoritairement occupé par des vignes de Chardonnay (Meursault). Selon lui, le réchauffement climatique en fait un terroir idéal pour le pinot. Je dois lui donner raison avec ce 2017. Quel beau vin! Robe translucide et pâle, arômes dégourdis, de fruit, mais aussi de fleurs et de fines épices. En bouche, l'attaque est riche et de bonne concentration. La transition en milieu de bouche amène la fraîcheur et un côté minéral. Cette acidité porte le vin dans une longue finale. Les tanins sont nombreux et fins. Le vin est accessible, mais je crois qu'il a ce qu'il faut pour évoluer harmonieusement. J'ai beaucoup aimé et je le recommande vivement. — 6 years ago
