2015 Domaine Richard Leroy Les Rouliers: Mythical Cult Loire Chenin The 2015 Domaine Richard Leroy Les Rouliers Vin de France 750ml stands as an immortal, ultra-rare benchmark that redefined the global status of dry Chenin Blanc. In particular, Richard Leroy farms his ancient vines on volcanic schist and sandstone in Rablay-sur-Layon with monastic, chemical-free dedication. In addition, the solar, glorious 2015 harvest endowed the fruit with lavish stone-fruit depth, seamless texture, and noble mineral energy. Tasting Notes for 2015 Domaine Richard Leroy Les Rouliers The wine opens with a dazzling bouquet of lemon oil, white orchard peach, crisp pear, and crushed flint smoke. Furthermore, delicate accents of roasted almond, chamomile, wet chalk, and subtle sea spray unfurl as the wine breathes. On the palate, laser-like acidity cuts through a textured, focused core of citrus and stony minerality. Consequently, the finish reverberates with unforgettable saline persistence, crystalline purity, and flinty drive.
