Smoky flinty high intensity and precision but weightless. Minerals and stone fruits fresh and vibrant. No wonder auvenay and coche sets the highest standards for white Burgundy!

So good we had this to begin and to finish. This is an absolutely stunning wine. The richness and the extraction of fruit was mind boggling. There was a bit of reduction and oak that needed time to blow off but once it did it was probably the best white burgundy I've had second only to the 05 Coche Corton Charlemagne. A definite and persistent long lemon curd finish. Rivaled the 88 Jayer Beaumonts for WOTN.

Very light yellow in color, very fresh nose of citrus fruit, nuts and stony. Medium plus palate, what is remarkable abt this wine is the minerality, which is driving as soon it enters your mouth and just stays there long after you have swallowed, awesome. The wine is not made in the flamboyant style that is quite usual for Leroy whites, rather this wine is very elegant and restrained, need to slowly savour the goods. In a great place to drink now...

Carre. Lemon curd, very sweet similar to 1999 Folatieres. (too indulgent to note serial numbers this evening)

Väldigt gott men otippat lätt i stilen, mer drivet av citrus och mineral. Elegant och friskt. Man skulle kunna ha önskat en aning mer koncentration
