Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Three outstanding premier crus include the Nuits St.-Georges-Les Lavieres, Nuits St.-Georges-Les Vignerondes, and Nuits St.-Georges-Les Boudots. Picking a favorite is akin to splitting hairs, as they are all super-rich, densely colored, broadly built, expansive, full-bodied Pinot Noirs with superb complexity and richness. The most opulent, hedonistic, and decadent of this trio of premier crus is the 1991 Nuits St.-Georges-Les Boudots. Its huge, exotic nose of smoke, ripe cassis fruit, herbs, minerals, and roasted nuts is a turn-on. Low in acid, this blockbuster, massively concentrated, voluptuously-textured wine is a knock-out.

• Vinous: This is a big wine yet there is an elegance to it with extremely complex and entirely ripe black and spicy pinot fruit aromas that merge into rich, full, intense and very concentrated flavors that have a slight extracted quality to them yet it doesn’t interfere with the sense of elegance and overall refinement. In short, this is one gorgeous effort that is still young and should drink well into its 20th birthday. Multiple and, save for one curious bottle, consistent notes; the off bottle displayed interesting menthol aromas and a hint of lactic acid plus a disappointingly short finish.

Producer Information

Domaine Leroy is a negociant/wine producer based in the Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy. It makes a range of wines from Pinot Noir that comes from some of the most iconic vineyards in the world, including Le Chambertin, Musigny, Clos de Vougeot and Romanée-Saint-Vivant, and is second only to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in terms of price and quality. Those wines made from estate grown fruit are sold under the Domaine Leroy label. The domaine was founded by Francois Leroy, a wine merchant based in Auxey-Duresses, in 1868. It was expanded under his son Joseph and grandson Henri throughout the early 1900s, and in 1942, Henri Leroy was involved with the purchase of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti alongside Edmond Gaudin de Villaine. Leroy and Villaine saw massive potential in the plots and vines DRC already held and, rather than see the domaine split up among various proprietors, decided to buy it together. In 1974, Henri’s daughter Lalou Leroy took over this co-management of DRC alongside Aubert de Villaine; she had also inherited Maison Leroy from her father after his death in 1980. Leroy left Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in 1991 following a dispute with Villaine, and began to focus on her own domaine.
