Intensely honeyed nose with hints of oxidation, yet there is some lively crispiness on the palate with nuanced notes of butterscotch, flower and acidity. Should have been better before its 40 year of age. 93
*Purchased from private cellar. Hope to find one with better provenance as I hear these old Maison Leroy whites can be amazing.

Made by Liger-Belair under C. Marey name and from Magnum. There are some signature linearity and elegance here, which pair quite well with the terroir. Vines should be quite old. 93
