2002 Domaine Leroy Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 94
Saturated red-ruby. Pure, blacker aromas of cassis, licorice and violet; lively and perfumed. Very suave on entry, then juicy, precise and tightly wound, with highly aromatic dark berry and violet flavors. Finishes with strong tannins and great lift and persistence. Less exotic and less robust than the Brulees, but more sharply delineated and even longer.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2004Wine Advocate | Rating: 96
The profound, medium ruby-colored 2002 Vosne-Romanee Les Beaux Monts has an intensely spicy, waxy black fruit-dominated nose. On the palate, this wine expands magnificently, unleashing soft, velvety waves of fresh pulp-laden red fruits. Concentrated, powerful, graceful, and well-structured, it is a superb example of its vineyard's potential.Author: Pierre RovaniInternational Wine Cellar | Rating: 94
Very deep ruby. Picture perfect Vosne spice of impeccable elegance and purity merges seamlessly with stunningly beautiful, chiseled and equally muscular flavors but with even more size and weight yet for all the volume, the balance is perfect. The concentration and intensity of the finish is almost painful and the finish just doesn't stop as it literally lasts for minutes. A great effort and a more complete one than the Brul‚es.Issue: 1st Quarter, 2004

"Domaine Leroy is a welcome reminder of the difference between the very good and the great." - Michel Bettane, Vins de France
Created in 1988 with the purchase of the 12-hectare Domaine Charles Noëllat in Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Leroy has become one of the most impressive and vaunted properties in Burgundy. Cultivation follows strict biodynamic parameters and the combination of old vine preservation and ultra-low yields produces fruit of unrivaled excellence. The resultant wines are masterpieces of purity, intensity and layered subtlety enhanced by an uncommonly statuesque concentration. The spectacular reviews that these wines consistently receive attest to their incredible and solid quality—they are a lynchpin in any Burgundy enthusiast's collection.
