  January 13, 2020 - un superbe vin ou rien n'acroche.
  Tanins soyeux, aromes equilibres.
  Cerise, anis, the vert, pomme grenade.
  Vraiment, toute la beaute de ce vin est dans l'equilibre et l'harmonie delicat des aromes.

  August 30, 2019 - Confrerie lunch. Leroy signature visible on this wine. Very barnyardy, a bit too much, but good complexity with red cherry, dried meat. Tart on the finish.

  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

  December 30, 2015 - The wine was very slow to open, took about 2 hours in a decanter. Light on the palate, typical Beaune flavors, while intense, complex, and long. A Leroy true to form.
  
  Outperformed two excellent 1999 b'dy grand crus in a blind tasting.

  October 5, 2015 - Lovely complexity. This wine is showing good tertiary components of sous bois complimenting the warm red fruits and spice. Lovely
