Beautiful wine. Polished, saline and high acidity.
The nose gives some crisp sweetness. Think of ripe white stone fruit.
The palate has a beautiful chalky minerality, aromas of soft citrus and white peaches.
One of those bottles that you wish was bottomless.

Probably the best example of precise natural wine in the world, 5-10 year old bottles of these wines are amongst the best wines I’ve ever had.
Yep. Montbenault is one of the very best dry chenin vineyards in the world (along w/ Nourrissons, and maybe just a few others), and Richard Leroy is a master of the craft.
Exceptional wine. And, if you can get it at allocation pricing…..not nearly so expensive.
