Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 17
(a new wine for Leroux; racked three weeks before my visit): Good bright red. Black cherry and a violet quality on the nose. Sweet, silky wine with lovely finesse of texture and terrific mineral grip. A note of black pepper provides added lift. Sappy without being sweet, with harmonious acidity energizing the middle palate. Still a touch of unabsorbed sulfur here but this very firm wine finishes with a subtle sweetness and noteworthy length.

Nuits-Saint-Georges

Nuits-Saint-Georges, a renowned appellation in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, is famous for its robust, structured Pinot Noir wines with rich flavours of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, along with earthy, spicy notes. Known for firm tannins and full-bodied character, these wines are ideal for ageing. Although lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Saint-Georges and Les Vaucrains produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine Henri Gouges, Domaine Faiveley, and Domaine Robert Chevillon, all celebrated for showcasing the unique terroir with traditional winemaking.
