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
“TThe 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle 1er Cru contains slightly less whole bunches than he Cazetiers. It has a very bright and perfumed bouquet with red cherry and crushed strawberry. The palate is well-balanced with fine acidity. It’s lively in the mouth, with caressing red berry fruit laced with black pepper on the finish. Lovely.”
