Note di degustazione
(two-thirds in tank, one-third in foudre; mostly from the Morey side of the village; Leroux vinifies the various components separately and then blends them in tank): Good dark red. Subtly complex aromas of redcurrant, smoky underbrush and dried rose petal. A lovely silky, lightly saline midweight with noteworthy red berry intensity. Like the Vougeot Clos du Village and Savigny-lès-Beaune, this wine finished its malolactic fermentation very early. This is normally Leroux's largest cuvée (about 10,000 bottles per year) and does not include any declassified premier cru fruit in 2016. Should make a terrific village wine.

The 2016 Gevrey Chambertin Villages was two-thirds in tank and the remainder in a single foudre. There are scents of Bakewell tart and bilberry on the nose, nicely defined and pretty, almost Chambolle-esque. The palate is well balanced with sappy red berry fruit, a fine structure behind it with a tightly wound, slightly attenuated finish that will open up with bottle age. One to watch!
This is mainly Les Seuvrées so genuinely a village wine. Also La Justice and Le Fourneau. Two-thirds in cask with some new and one-third in foudre. Assemblage made yesterday. Meaty Gevrey nose. Rich and sweet and that sweet earthiness of Gevrey. (JR)
