Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Blanc 2018

The Bourgogne Blanc, which had been bottled 80% under Screwcap and 20% under DIAM just prior to the harvest, has a crisp and slightly waxy bouquet. The palate is well balanced with a crisp line of acidity, subtle tropical tones surfacing towards the fresh, easy-drinking finish.
