Tasting Notes
On the nose Maison Leroy’s 2018 Monthélie has beautiful notes of violets wrapped up in a mix of red and black berries, especially blackcurrant. Those very pure and delicate floral aromas carry through to the palate, accompanied by tannins that are very subtle, almost with a hint of sucrosity that makes one salivate. This is a very complete wine that outperforms in this warmer vintage: a wonderful expression of this terroir that, for me, displays the elegance of Volnay with a weightless mouth-feel.
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.
