LEROY
"Domaine Leroy is the creation of one of the most determined, dynamic and passionate Burgundians, Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy. For many years co-director of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, she created her own Domaine from 1988, with purchases of Richebourg, Chambertin, Romanée-Saint-Vivant and a further 50 acres of Burgundys greatest terroirs.She rapidly pioneered cultivating her vineyards organically and bio-dynamically. She championed low yields and a ruthless pursuit of the highest quality. American wine lovers were the first to recognise and embrace her wines, and the greatest of her bottlings have consistently come to the finest collections in the USA. The wines come from some of Burgundys rarest, greatest localities. They have saturated, purple-garnet colours in youth, and are striking for the crystal clarity of their expression of Pinot Noir aromas. Red fruits mingle with spiciness, clean earth, forest floor, liquorice - in tumbling complexities, as the wines evolve with bottle-age. On the palate, there is structure without excess, dense fruit, purity of expression, subtle management of tannins and extraordinary length of flavour. From a standing start a mere 15 years ago, this Domaine was immediately able to command prices alongside the most legendary of Burgundys bottlings. The consistency of Madame Bize-Leroys wine-making throughout this recent, Golden Decade for Burgundy has been exceptional.

Echézeaux--Vintage 1964
Côte de Nuits, Maison Leroy
Levels: 2cm or better
All lots in original wooden cases
Parcel: lots 251-255
Sweet, damp, woodsy aromas and exotic fruits soar from the glass. In the mouth, the wine is rich and younger than its medium ruby, slightly amber color suggests. Rich and elegant, with layers of earthy fruit flavors, this full-bodied, powerful, old style red burgundy should continue to drink well for at least another decade. Wine Advocate #80 (Apr 1992). Robert Parker.
