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
“Small berries, 25% whole bunch. ‘One of our first parcels.’ Pinot Fin. Barrel sample. Mid cherry red. Fragrant and seems lightly stemmy in its fresh and peppery dark fruit. Beautifully fragrant with both red and black fruit and that lifted freshness. Gorgeous purity of dark-red fruit on the palate, a peppery texture and great finesse in the tannins, paper fine. Scented from start to finish but with intensity and length. [17/20 – Julia Harding on 2017 vintage – jancisrobinson.com]
