1/18/2018 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 97 pointsAmberish in color, nose full of honey, white flowers and toast. Very fine mousse, very well developed palate that is both deep and wide with loads of shaved nuts, very long length with plenty of minerals. Stayed in top form for over 3hours, this is not just a champagne but can drink as a wine. Marvelous. |

2015 Maison Leroy Gevrey-ChambertinPinot Noir more |
1/18/2018 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 92 pointsOnly 302 bottles made for this rare Gevrey, opened for 4 hours before consumption. Deep red with purplish hue, nose with slight residue oak and lots of evening scented stock and perfume. Very young, ripe and full of sap, looking foward to see how this wine will evolve in the medium term. |

1/18/2018 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 96 pointsSlight pigeon blood in color, what a nose! Amazing even by Leroy standard, slow oxed for 3hours before consumption, palate is very dense yet without weight, loads of zap, good grip and very long length, can any red burgundy get better than this? Slight unresolved tannins, starting to get very interesting yet can keep for the much longer term. |

2007 Domaine Leroy Nuits St. Georges Au Bas de CombePinot Noir more |
11/17/2017 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis wine evolved quite nicely, very well made for a 07 with ripe berries, the signature Leroy floral nose. Not super complex but an overachiever for a village, and with a price tag to match. |

2003 Château PavieSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/14/2017 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 92 pointsDrank from double mag, a big and robust red, great to accompany food than to drink by itself. Not sure if its at a dumb phase or not, not as impressive as I recall drinking abt 7-8years ago, problem for me is the acidity level is rather low for a Bordeaux. |

2006 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Masseto Toscana IGTMerlot more |
11/14/2017 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 94 pointsDecanted for 3 hours before consumption, still very big and bold, still a tad alcoholic. Not your average Merlot! But at this point it is too young to be fully enjoyed, I would leave this alone for a very long time. |

11/14/2017 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 94 pointsFirst time to try the 163 in mag form, a wow wine, quite a step up from 750. All the lovely toastiness, yeast and minerals elevated to another level, gee need to find more! |

2012 François Raveneau ChablisChardonnay more |
10/6/2017 - Pacalet wrote: 89 pointsStill young and fresh, lemony nose with decent substance, lots of minerality but slightly low in acidity, still a very enjoyable Chablis and very well made for the vintage. |

2009 Domaine Fourrier Chambolle-Musigny Vieille VignePinot Noir more |
10/6/2017 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 89 pointsDark red in color, pretty focused nose with lots of darker red fruit. Medium palate with decent substance for its level if nothing more, a very good village wine. |

2004 GraciaSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/6/2017 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 90 pointsInteresting soft and supple garage wine from St Emilion. Not bold and big but made in an elegant way, reasonably priced and very small production. |

2005 Maison Lou Dumont Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St. JacquesPinot Noir more |
10/3/2017 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis is a pleasant surprise hidden for abt 5-6 years in the cellar, the wine gained a lot of weight over the years, lovely and deep Gevrey nose, slightly meaty, palate with good depth and layers, fantastic wine for the value. |

2006 Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna del PianoSangiovese more |
7/31/2017 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 93 pointsOpened 2 hours before consumption. Very dark red in color, nose with ripe clean dark fruit, palate with dark plums, very structured yet elegant in style. Young and full of potential |

2002 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva MonfortinoNebbiolo more |
7/31/2017 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 91 pointsHad it at the bellagio in Como, the sommelier told me not to decant it and try it, indeed it is surpringly supple and approachable for a Monfortino. Nose with deep red plummy fruit, not the very dark fruit. Medium palate with decent structure but without the usual power and structure that you would expect from a Monfortino, very burgundian Monfortino. |

2009 Domaine d'Auvenay (Lalou Bize-Leroy) Bourgogne-Aligoté Sous Chateletmore |
7/5/2017 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 92 pointsStill the ultimate Aligote, with a staggering market price too. Even the non wine lovers noticed the flamboyant Leroy white wine nose is not your average white. Flinty nose with a touch of durian, nutty and tropical fruit. Medium bodied with fresh acidity and lots of minerals. |

1990 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Clos de la BarreChardonnay more |
1/7/2017 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 93 pointsExcellent condition, very fresh light yellow in color, nose with fresh citrus fruit, slight damp earth, butter and white flowers. Everyone thought this was a 04 or 06. Medium plus palate with great balance and nice acidity lift. If the wine got more stuffings and it will be easily a 95+ wine. |

2014 Maison Leroy Gevrey-ChambertinPinot Noir more |
1/6/2017 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 92 pointsRare Domaine bottling mostly allocated to Japan, under 600 bottles made. Burgnick sums it up well, as compared to the 13 bottling, this is much better with better concentration, pepper, meaty, slight gaminess and lots of potential ahead. |

2014 Domaine Leroy Auxey-Duresses Les LavieresChardonnay more |
12/19/2016 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 92 pointsLight golden color, popped and poured already showing lots of popcorn, butter, flint and sulphur. Palate mirrors the nose with slightly ripe sweet fruit at the back, long finish filled with minerals. Another flamboyant white from Madam Leroy. |

1993 Joseph Drouhin Romanée St. VivantRomanée St. Vivant Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
12/11/2016 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis is holding up well and drinking well. Deep red color with slightly floral nose, VR spices and forest floor. Medium plus palate with good fruit and acidity, medium finish. Not a blockbuster but a good 92 rouge. |

2006 Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux ReignotsPinot Noir more |
12/11/2016 - Pacalet Likes this wine: 92 pointsDrank alongside 06 Colombiere, the nose is quite similar but the palate is definitely deeper with more layers of structures. Pure fruited with lovely and deep floral nose, drinking well now and should be able to age for the medium term. |
