Domaine Leroy
2015 Nuits St. Georges “Les Boudots” ♥1er Cru Red 750 ml
Score: 94
Tasted: Jan 15, 2018
Drink: 2032+
Issue: 69
Outstanding
Producer note: Lalou Bize-Leroy was away at the time of my visit and thus I don’t have the benefit of her reflections on the 2015 vintage. I was greeted instead by Gilles Desprez who ably conducted the tasting. He didn’t have a lot of details but did note that fruit was harvested between the 2nd and 8th of September and that the wines were bottled in December 2016. As the commentaries and ratings indisputably confirm, Mme Leroy has produced superb wines that without question transcend the general quality of the vintage. What I particularly like about the Leroy 2015s is that they reflect the high ripeness level of the vintage while maintaining excellent freshness and verve, something that is not always the case.

Tasting note: A slightly riper nose grudgingly offers up a densely layered array of essence of plum, cassis, violet and as is usually the case, plenty of warm earth and a wide range of spice influences. There is excellent size, weight and power to the less refined big-bodied flavors that display evident muscle and punch on the velvet-textured finish that goes on and on. This is also exceptionally good though it’s also a wine that is even more firmly structured.
