Saint Aubin Les Charmois Maison Leroy 2002

Owned and run by the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy, Maison Leroy is one strand of the Leroy group, which also includes Domaine Leroy and Domaine d’Auvenay. The négociant business which is based in Auxey-Duresses was originally founded in 1868 by François Leroy, winemaker and owner of vines in prime sites such as Meursault, Pommard, Chambertin, Musigny, Clos Vougeot and Richebourg. This 2002 Saint-Aubin Premier Cru is in a good spot now, showing a lovely nose of citrus, honey and chamomile, framed by a touch of nutty new oak. On the palate, the wine is bright and tensile, with a firm line of acidity.
