2006 Domaine d'Auvenay (Lalou Bize-Leroy) Auxey-Duresses Les Clous BlancChardonnay more |
7/3/2020 - justburg wrote: 92 pointsAnother superb effort from a humble plot. Flinty and piercing aromatics, a little citrus initially, but more creamy with time. High toned and energetic. Very impressive on the palate and extremely balanced. |

2006 Domaine d'Auvenay (Lalou Bize-Leroy) Puligny-Montrachet en la RichardeChardonnay more |
7/1/2020 - justburg wrote: 95 pointsThe white wine of 2020. Truly sensational bottle of white Burgundy. Such intensity on the nose, with creamy yellow fruit, matchstick and flint. Great acid for the vintage. Immense concentration on the palate, long and complex. Drinking superbly now. |

2013 Domaine Leroy Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les BoudotsPinot Noir more |
6/24/2020 - justburg wrote: 93 pointsHer 2013s just have so much vibrancy and energy. Similar to a bottle consumed a year ago, this was just signature Leroy. Brilliant aromatics, and equally impressive on the palate. Extremely flamboyant showing. Great now, but will be a high 90 pointer with time. |

1989 Domaine Leroy Nuits St. Georges Aux AllotsPinot Noir more |
1/28/2020 - justburg wrote: 89 pointsFor a 1989 NSG from the era she hadn't fully made her mark, this was a splendid effort. This has aged gracefully. Fruit is mature, but still fairly visible. Roasted strawberries, grapefruit and a touch of mocha. At peak, and probably needs drinking. |

2014 Domaine Leroy Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les BoudotsPinot Noir more |
1/6/2020 - justburg wrote: 92 pointsOf all her plots, Madam's Boudots is the closest to Vosne in terms of character. Exotic, wild and full of spice and pepper. Mouth coating tannin and deep dark fruit. This will be in need of some time, but there is no harm in popping one early to appreciate how her wines can still be attractive in their own ways in their youth. |

2004 Domaine Leroy Vosne-RomanéePinot Noir more |
1/6/2020 - justburg wrote: 94 pointsAnother really superb showing. Bottles have been inconsistent but this was a good one. Spice out in spades. Very red fruited with cherries, strawberry cream and red kiwi. Beautiful and perfect in a small setting. |

2007 Domaine Leroy Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux CombottesPinot Noir more |
1/6/2020 - justburg wrote: 92 pointsThis showed better than a bottle consumed about a year plus ago. Still in a good age bracket, her 2007s are probably more ideal for earlier consumption. Gentle red fruit, touch of incense and lavender. Elegant and refined. Very enjoyable on this occasion. |

1961 Maison Leroy Grands-EchezeauxGrands-Echezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
4/29/2019 - justburg wrote: 91 pointsBeautifully aged wine. Leather, sandalwood, black tea. Stewed strawberries, grapefruit, pomegranate. Complex and long. Remarkable how the wine has held up. Based on this bottle, best to be consumed now. |

2013 Domaine d'Auvenay (Lalou Bize-Leroy) Puligny-Montrachet Les EnseignèresChardonnay more |
4/9/2019 - justburg wrote: 95 pointsIn Girona, Spain. Madam's second vintage. Booming aromatics with incredible concentration, power and depth. Dazzling array of fruit flavors and acid on the palate. Grand Cru complexity. Mint, truffle, corn, milk chocolate and smoke with time. This is truly a masterpiece. |

2013 Domaine Leroy Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux BrûléesPinot Noir more |
3/19/2019 - justburg wrote: 96 pointsFull package wine. Explosive aromatics, firing right out of the window. Signature Leroy perfume. Wild, exotic, smoky and rich. Spice, truffle, raspberry on the palate. This was such a balanced wine. You couldn't ask for anything more from a young Leroy. This is rare and magical. |

2013 Domaine Leroy Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les BoudotsPinot Noir more |
3/19/2019 - justburg wrote: 93 pointsFirework aromatics. Deep, intense, powerful but extremely elegant and refined for a NSG. Just a touch of rusticity, which added to the character of this wine. Complex, long and balanced. Good showing today, but will obviously be better with cellaring. |

2014 Domaine Leroy Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru NarbantonsPinot Noir more |
3/19/2019 - justburg wrote: 92 pointsHer 2014s are really fantastic, although the majority will need time. Drank alongside the Combottes 2014, this surprisingly was the more closed wine. Dark, intense but slightly brooding. Cassis and currants. Very silky tannins and really balanced on the palate. |

2009 Domaine Leroy Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru NarbantonsPinot Noir more |
3/19/2019 - justburg wrote: 93 pointsIn a good phase. Showing all of that Leroy stems, the exuberant spice, lavender and truffle. Tannins quite resolved. Grapefruit, cinnamon and strawberry cream on the palate. Very impressive length. |

2014 Domaine Leroy Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux CombottesPinot Noir more |
3/19/2019 - justburg wrote: 94 pointsAnother superb young Leroy. Airy and high toned. Intense yet elegant. Predominantly blue and red fruited, surprisingly open for her 2014. Loads of potential. |

1989 Domaine Leroy Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux MontsPinot Noir more |
2/28/2019 - justburg wrote: 92 pointsSurprisingly good for a wine in her early Domaine days. Serene. Drinking superbly. Spice, white pepper and truffle. Very blue fruited with incense, sandalwood and a touch of mint. Some roasted character after extended aeration. Tannins were just so resolved. In a prime window. |

2015 Domaine Leroy Chambolle-Musigny Les FremièresPinot Noir more |
1/10/2019 - justburg wrote: 96 pointsThis was a truly magical young wine. Vibrant, bright, deep and rich. Great acid and a really strong core of fruit. Fantastic complexity, great length and so hedonistic. This is going to be one of the best village wines ever made. |

1992 Domaine Leroy Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les BoudotsPinot Noir more |
1/10/2019 - justburg wrote: 89 pointsDrinking at peak. Deeply lacking Leroy's signature. Grippy and rough on the edges. Beef stock and leather on the palate, with just the right amount of fruit to keep this going. Should be drunk now. |

2007 Domaine Leroy Nuits St. Georges Aux AllotsPinot Noir more |
1/10/2019 - justburg wrote: 92 pointsA really beautiful wine. Classic Leroy aromatics. Red fruited with truffle, spice, incense and dried roses. Good structure. Extremely silky on the palate. Showing superbly on this occasion. |

2005 Domaine Leroy Nuits St. Georges Aux LavièresPinot Noir more |
1/10/2019 - justburg wrote: 89 pointsA little closed. Not surprising for a 2005. Very structured and dense. Definitely in need of extended cellaring. |

2013 Domaine Leroy Nuits St. Georges Au Bas de CombePinot Noir more |
1/10/2019 - justburg wrote: 89 pointsA little closed on this occasion. Difficult to coax the Leroy signature. Dark, ripe and rich. Unusual for a 2013, probably in a closed phase and in need of time. |
