Maison Leroy Bourgogne Blanc 2017

Maison Leroy Bourgogne Blanc 2017 is a striking example of how even a humble regional Burgundy can be elevated to collector status in the right hands. Crafted under the legendary direction of Lalou Bize-Leroy, it combines rigorously selected Chardonnay fruit, uncompromising vineyard standards, and the unmistakable precision that has made Leroy one of the most revered names in Burgundy. While this wine sits at the entry level of the Leroy range, it still carries the pedigree and quiet intensity that have made the house a benchmark for serious Burgundy lovers.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, this white Burgundy typically shows a pale gold hue with freshness and clarity. The nose is likely to be refined rather than exuberant, with aromas of citrus peel, green apple, white flowers, and a subtle mineral edge, gradually opening to hints of almond, light spice, and discreet leesy complexity. On the palate, expect a focused Chardonnay with taut acidity, fine texture, and a sense of purity that keeps the wine linear and precise. The finish should be long for its category, with a salty, stony impression that reflects Burgundy’s mineral character. While already enjoyable with food, the 2017 vintage has the structure to evolve gracefully in bottle, gaining more breadth and nuance over the next 5 to 10 years and, in a good cellar, possibly longer.

Viininvalmistus
The fruit comes from Burgundy, where the cool climate and limestone-rich soils provide ideal conditions for Chardonnay with freshness, tension, and mineral definition. Maison Leroy is known for working with exceptionally strict vineyard selection, and its philosophy has long emphasized organic farming and biodynamics, with low yields and meticulous sorting to preserve concentration and purity. Winemaking is carried out with the aim of expressing site character as clearly as possible, resulting in a wine that feels restrained, precise, and deeply authentic to its origin.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
Serve this wine at around 10-12°C to preserve its freshness and allow the aromatic detail to show. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, poached fish, shellfish, lobster, creamy mushroom dishes, and fine poultry preparations with butter or light cream sauces. Decanting is not essential, but a brief aeration can help the wine open up if served young.
