Reviewed October 2024The top white from Benjamin Leroux displaces peerless elegance and deft balance, managing to keep the powerful substance and concentration lively, lovely and fresh. The aromas of ripe nectarine and quince are touched with acacia flower, cream and spice, and the acidity is given a boost by a suggestion of pleasant bitterness (beaux amers) that sustains it through a lingering finish. The key, according to Leroux, was his picking window, which started on 29 August. This wine is still in barrel and will probably get 22 months of maturation before it is bottled. Very impressive. (Drink between 2028-2060)

A very spicy nose is beautifully layered if more restrained while the gorgeously textured, dense and palate staining broad-shouldered flavors display outstanding length on the complex, powerful and impeccably well-balanced finale. This is superb and if you can find it, and have the patience to cellar it, don't hesitate. Note that my projected initial drinking window is based on the large format bottling. (Drink starting 2038)
