Description

With headquarters in Meursault, Domaine Leroy was formed in 1988 when Lalou Bize-Leroy acquired the estate of Charles Noëllat in Vosne-Romanée and subsequently Philippe-Rémy’s property in Gevrey-Chambertin. Today, Domaine Leroy owns approximately 23 hectares, including impressive holdings in nine Grands Crus and eight Premier Crus, all farmed biodynamically. This release is from Chambertin, the prestigious Grand Cru vineyard where Domaine Leroy owns a 0.7-hectare plot. The 1997 vintage produced healthy and ripe red wines, with a soft structure.

About this wine

The 1997 Chambertin Domaine Leroy is a masterpiece of Burgundy wine, embodying the quintessence of Pinot Noir with a perfect balance between power and elegance. Aged in oak barrels, it displays a complex bouquet of red fruits, spices, and earthy undertones, with a persistent finish. The Chambertin Domaine Leroy 1997 exhibits notes of ripe cherries, blackcurrant, violets, and a hint of truffle. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a memorable finish.
