Description
After establishing his name by leading Domaine Comte Armand Clos des Epeneaux for eight years, Leroux has started a négociant business in 2007 to make wines under his own label, in a winery that he shares with Dominique Lafon. The Production is very limited and Leroux is determined only to work with vineyards that have been well managed and produce outstanding fruits from interesting and unjustly under rated terroirs. He carefully selects his growers and exerts maximum control over them, converting them as possible to organic and biodynamic practices. His wines are youthful and expressive, it seems that he treats his Generic Bourgogne as if they were Grands Crus, they are precise and poised, well structured with a fruitiness enhanced by a remarkable depth.
Tasting Notes
The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Village has a crisp blackberry bouquet that is slightly tarry and earthy and gains intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, crisp acidity, good structure and a sturdy, slightly surly finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle.
