October 12, 2018 - Tasted after a 2005 Les Petits Monts 1e (Vosne, above Richebourg) from Potel which was good. The Beaune is much darker, deeper in colour and the wine more powerful and, I suspect, very Leroy in style - lots of soft ripe fruit, almost a crunchy, chewy texture, touch of coffee and very creamy. Lovely acidity and balance and will easily age another 5 years. Well into grand cru class (but sadly so is the price, plus some). A remarkable 1e from Beaune, ageing effortlessly
