The Wine:
The lion’s share of this release comes from the outstanding Aux Fourneaux lieu-dit in the north of the village. Leroux works with lots of Pinot Fin here (a high-quality, low-yielding Pinot Noir cultivar), giving low yields and great concentration. The fruit from these vines fermented with 15% bunches. A fully destemmed parcel of Les Conardises was also included this year. The wine, half of which was raised without sulphur, matured exclusively in large cask—half in foudre and half in 600-litre barrels. Another juicy, red-fruited Burgundy that is wonderfully pretty and fine-boned and fresh.
The Review:
Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy - 90-92pts
"Five Star Wine. Glowing purple, a beautiful bouquet, lifted stylish, with the slight savoury edge of good Savigny. Light raspberry and strawberry with an excellent balance of acidity. Very good indeed. 13.5%."
