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 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune Village comes entirely from Les Fourneaux as the other parcel suffered a blocked maturation and was sold off. The bouquet is well balanced with crunchy red berry fruit, quite tight on the entry with cranberry and raspberry on the structured, slightly blocky finish.
