2018 Maison Leroy, Saint-Aubin Blanc, Burgundy - 750ML

93–95 Point Vintage (vintage consensus: 2018 delivered a warm, generous growing season across Burgundy, producing ripe, expressive whites with impressive concentration balanced by fresh underlying acidity.)

From one of Burgundy’s most revered domaines, Maison Leroy brings its uncompromising standards to the quietly prestigious slopes of Saint-Aubin. While often overshadowed by neighboring Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin has increasingly attracted attention for its mineral-driven Chardonnay. In the generous 2018 vintage, Maison Leroy’s Saint-Aubin Blanc captures both the ripeness of the year and the estate’s signature precision.

Blend: 100% Chardonnay

Tasting Notes:
Aromatic layers of white peach, lemon curd, and ripe pear unfold alongside notes of crushed limestone, hazelnut, and subtle brioche. The palate is textured yet vibrant, showing citrus oil, orchard fruit, and delicate floral nuances with a persistent mineral core that carries through a long, refined finish.

Structure:
Concentrated yet energetic; richly textured with balancing acidity.

Drink Window:
2023–2035+

Decanting:
A brief decant of 20–30 minutes helps the wine open aromatically in its youth. With additional bottle age, decanting becomes optional, though gentle aeration in the glass will allow the layered aromatics to fully emerge.

Maison Leroy’s limited production and uncompromising biodynamic approach make even its village-level wines highly sought after. The 2018 Saint-Aubin Blanc offers collectors and Burgundy enthusiasts an opportunity to experience the house’s unmistakable purity and finesse in a format equally suited to immediate enjoyment or graceful cellaring.
