Description

With headquarters in Meursault, Domaine Leroy was formed in 1988 when the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy acquired the estate of Charles Noëllat in Vosne-Romanée and subsequently Philippe-Rémy’s property in Gevrey-Chambertin. After continuous expansion, Domaine Leroy today comprises approximately 23 hectares, including impressive vineyard holdings in nine Grands Crus and eight Premier Crus. All the vines are farmed biodynamically and have been since 1988. This wine comes from a 0.22-hectare parcel in the premier cru Les Charmes. The 1999 vintage offers lovely notes of rose petals, wild strawberries and spices, finishing on a slightly mineral note.

About this wine

This 1999 vintage from Domaine Leroy's Chambolle Musigny Les Charmes is a testament to the winery's exceptional winemaking craft. Grown in a small, meticulously cared-for parcel, this wine expresses the unique terroir of Chambolle-Musigny with a complexity and finesse only achieved by the finest producers. Elegant bouquet of red and black fruits, violets, and spices, with an undercurrent of earthy tones. The palate is finely balanced with silky tannins and a lengthy, mineral-driven finish.
