Domaine Leseurre Dry Riesling Classique 750Ml

The 2016 Dry Riesling Cuvée Classique was aged for ten months in tank only. There is no analysis available for things like residual sugar with this wine, as the winery just tastes the grapes. This was sourced from three sites: one terroir (planted in 1971) has a west-southwest exposure and is only shale stone, another terroir (planted in 1976) is east-southeast and is a mix of shale stone and clay, and the last terroir (planted in 1999) faces west-southwest and is only clay. Concentrated, fresh and deep, this has a beautiful expression of fruit but not a lot of zest. To some extent, that may be the producer's style, to another extent, the warm 2016 vintage. Still, there is good acidity underneath. The key here, though, is flavor (and a slight reductive hint). This, like so many of the producer's wines, is understated and seductive. There were 333 cases produced. Wine Advocate
