My previous bottle (opened mid 2020) was wonderful and right at peak, but tonight's was past its peak, clearly getting tired, even if marginally enjoyable. The rare 2014 1er Cru fading this quickly.

White Burgundies at Asia Grand: Brought for a friend. Wow this turned out to be the favourite on the night for most, including myself. Reductive nose that got more floral with orchard fruit after time in the glass. Excellent tension and balance between both citrus and tropical fruit, as well as hazelnut and saline notes. Haven’t had many Leroux whites but based on this they are well worth seeking out.

Yellow. Lemony aromas. Beautiful citrus flavors and acidity. Rounder, more glycerine, and less mineral than some other St. Aubin but well made and really very good.

Rich throughout with baked apple and lemon curd, coming across slightly richer than most 2014s. Good+ density as well. This is certainly right in the middle of its peak drinking window, and I'd err on drinking these on the younger side over the next few years.

White Burgundy Dinner (Asia Grand): Blind. Pronounced aromas of blossom, flowers and minerals. Fully body with lot of tension and lingering finish.
