LA ROMANÉE, LEROY 1953
The La Romanée vineyard is often expressed in hushed tones even among Burgundy enthusiasts. It is the smallest of the Grand Crus at .8452 ha, as well as being the smallest appelation in France; the production averaging about 300 cases.
As Allen Meadows wrote in the 14th issue of Burghound, after an expansive vertical tasting of La Romanee encompasing 1915-2002, "La Romanee requires time, lots of time, to fully express the genius of which it is so clearly capable. While it is of course true that all of the very best Burgundies require time, La Romanée requires 20 years or more to really be at its best."
This case was part of a recent release from the Domaine, and shipped under perfect conditions to a temperature and humidity controlled cellar.

"This was unfortunately badly corked though underneath the funk, there was a lovely sweetness and depth to the flavors. I have not tasted this wine in at least a decade but at that time it ranked among the best examples of La Romanie that I had ever tasted." Burghound.com
