Tasting notes
The 2018 Bourgogne Rouge from Maison Leroy is beautiful – punching well above the weight of its modest appellation. The nose is poised, perfumed and delicate – with expressive dried rose petals dancing against a backdrop of pure raspberry, wild strawberry and cherry fruit. There’s great density on the mid-palate, the alcohol and tannins seamlessly integrated with vibrant acidity from this warm vintage. It’s our favourite release of the cuvée for several years.
About the producer
The négociant arm of Lalou Bize-Leroy's Burgundy empire is Maison Leroy. The Leroy name provides a seal of Madame Leroy's approval and the very finest quality, with the wines released only when she deems them ready to drink. They are undoubtedly some of the most sought-after bottlings in the region.
