ANTONIO GALLONI 94 POINTS - "I was really impressed with Leo Hansen's wines this year. The wines have more focus and delineation than in the past, and that is great to see. Hansen focuses on Chenin, but there's more to this range than just Chenin these days. The wines are done with minimal handling in the cellar, including native ferments and no fining or filtration prior to bottling. Best of all, the wines offer superb quality for the money."
"The 2018 Chardonnay Bruzzone Vineyard is, in my view, the most impressive of these new releases from Leo Steen. It is also quite possibly the finest wine I have tasted in the years I have followed Leo Steen. The Bruzzone is phenolic and potent in feel, yet it retains a gorgeous feeling of translucence. An infusion of bright, saline notes lends brightness through to the articulate finish. This vivid, inviting Chardonnay is superb. The 2018 spent 16 months in oak, mostly larger format, neutral barrels."
