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
Grape Variety: Pinot Noir (25-40 years vines)
The 2017 Beaune Les Cent-Vignes 1er Cru has a bright bouquet of red cherries and bergamot aromas, plus a touch of espresso in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit and quite saline in the mouth, leading to a sappy, slightly chalky-textured finish. Fine. [88 Points- Neal Martin – October 2018 – vinous.com]
