Pommard Les Vignots Domaine Leroy 2011

Established in 1988 by Lalou Bize-Leroy after the purchase of the Charles Nöellat and Phillippe-Rémy estates, Domaine Leroy now consists of 21 hectares of biodynamically cultivated vineyards and is widely regarded as one of the highest quality producers in Burgundy. Leroy’s cuvées from the Cote de Beaune often fly somewhat under the radar, but this is a superb wine from a cool lieu-dit high on the slope above the village of Pommard. The renowned Robert Parker commented on the 2011 vintage as follows, "It has a complex, slightly earthy bouquet with subtle marine influences, defined and focused with hints of black olive emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine focus, imbued with an Oriental edge (hoisin) which is folded into a fine silky finish."
