Tasting notes
The Pommard-Les Trois Follots is not a premier cru vineyard, even though it is located next to the famed Rugiens vineyard. The tasty 1990 is a good wine, with deep color, and a spicy, earthy nose, but it does not possess the dimension, flavor, or length of Leroy's finest 1990s. I suppose there is a natural tendency to overlook Madame Leroy's wines from the Cote de Beaune. She, along with Faiveley and Jadot, makes one of the more flavorful generic red burgundies. Importer: Martine's Wines, San Rafael, CA.

About the producer
For many, Domaine Leroy represents the pinnacle of fine Burgundy. Owned and run by the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy, the domaine in Vosne-Romanée is one strand of the Leroy empire, along with Maison Leroy and Domaine d’Auvenay.
