Note: from a .35 ha parcel
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 more elegant and exuberantly fresh nose combines notes of cherry and dark currant with those of plum, lavender and violet. The middle weight flavors exude a really beguiling inner mouth perfume and flashing a plenitude of minerality on the focused and almost painfully intense bitter cherry pit-infused finish that leaves no doubt that this beauty is built-to-age for the long to even very long-term. This is terrific.
