Web: http://www.domaine-leroy.com/Chubby Appreciation: 93/100
Critics' Opinion: CT - 89/100
Appearance: Light yellow straw.
Aroma: Saline, lime curd, crushed rock, and orchard.
Palate: Rich and creamy. Lingering acidity. Dry with density. Citrus and spice notes. Not at all austere.
Such a unique personality and expression from the woman behind Domaine Leroy, Lalou Bize-Leroy, this with Bourgogne is. This is no ordinary flat Aligote. On the other hand, vibrant and fresh with complexity. Initially, it seemed to hold its nerve backward. Only after a few hours of opening, the true characters revealed. Such an enjoyable Aligote.
