2019 Maison Leroy Bourgogne Blanc, France, Burgundy, Wine Review

Yes, it is just a Bourgogne, but it is Leroy, and she makes some of the best Bourgogne Blancs. Golden in color, clear and bright. This has a great nose with Vanilla and Fuji apples. Slight smoke. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this is rich with nice minerality. Lemony notes. Long finish. This got better with air. This should drink well for the next decade at least. It will work on its own and will be great with sea food.

Chablis: History & Recommendations for the Great Burgundy White Wine

About 110 miles southeast of Paris, at the northern tip of the Burgundy wine region France lays Chablis. Chablis is the name of a village that has given its name to a region producing some of the best white wines in the world. The region of Chablis encompasses 19 towns and is about twenty by fifteen kilometers in size. In France, by law, wines are named after the place where they are fashioned and not the grape varietal. The wine producers of Chablis have spent hundreds of years determining which grapes produce the best wines for their soils and the answer: crisp, mineral-driven wines made from the Chardonnay grape.

At age 21, this wine is drinking well but starting to show a bit of age. Light to medium golden in color. The nose has some simple syrup, hay and an applesauce quality (think slightly oxidized apples). There is a nice bit of acidity. Very clean. Slight citrus on the palate (lemon-ish). Good finish. Some level of complexity and depth. A very nice way to start an evening. It will work with just about any food. If you own any though, it should be drunk up in the next five years unless you like older Champagne.

This is a nice easy going French Chardonnay (listed on the label). Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has pears and apples with a slight note of almonds. Light bodied. Crisp and clean. On the palate, green apples with a slight minerality. Nice balance. Good finish. This is refreshing and should be popular among fans of all styles of Chardonnay. This should be consumed over the next couple of years. It drinks well on its own and will work well with salads and seafoods.

A really nice value in French Chardonnay. Gold/green in color, clear and bright. The nose has red apples, good minerality and a touch of spice. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, no hard edges. Very smooth with apples and minerals. Long finish. Nice on its own, but better with food. Pepper crusted Tuna steaks would be nice. Drink over the next seven to ten years.
