Benjamin Leroux, Meursault Narvaux Blanc

Benjamin Leroux, Meursault Narvaux BlancCool, pure and very pretty aromas of roasted nut, petrol and a blend of white orchard fruit scents. There is both fine richness and volume to the solidly concentrated and intensely mineral driven middle weight flavors that conclude in a youthfully austere, balanced and sleek finale. This is an excellent Meursault villages though note that its one that is going to need at least a few years of keeping as its pretty tightly wound at present.

The 2005 Riesling Clos Hauserer was another of Humbrecht’s reluctant fermentors

smoked meats and underbrush that continue to change and develop in the glass

A highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh black and blue fruits

spice and sea breeze scents to shine

floral and wild red berry scents

There is a touch of rusticity here
