Tasting Notes

89-90
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 18
(in tank; one of the four barrels was new but Leroux fermented a bit of Pinot in it first; vinified with 25% whole clusters): Healthy dark red. Deeper scents of redcurrant and dark cherry. Offers a bit more texture than the Savigny-lès-Beaune but this wine is distinctly more backward and shows a medicinal quality from the stem element.
