The 2009 Corton-Renardes hits the palate with waves of dark red fruit, smoke and incense. This is a decidedly virile, powerful wine, very much in keeping with the personality of the site. Exotic aromas and flavors come together beautifully in the glass as the wine opens up. This is a totally beautiful Burgundy, but it will appeal most to readers who like firm, structured wines. It’s incredible to think this is the first of eight premier crus at Leroy! Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029. This was my first opportunity to taste the 2009s from Domaine Leroy in bottle. Lalou Bize-Leroy was among the first, if not the first, to bottle her 2009s, so she naturally wanted to give the wines some time to recover before showing them. The wines are stunning. Readers who have an opportunity to taste them should not hesitate. As always, the style is one of textural richness and depth, but the2009s appear to have excellent underlying material as well. The attention to every detail at the Domaine is quite evident in these thrilling wines. My visit ended with a sample of the 2010 Chambertin from barrel. Why not go straight to the top? If that wine is representative of the year, Leroy fans will have another superb vintage to look forward to, although yields will be lower than the already minuscule production.

Produttore
Domaine Leroy
Essendo diventato sempre più difficile trovare vini che soddisfino gli alti standard dell'etichetta della Maison Leroy, Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy ha deciso di acquistare i propri vigneti. Riunendo diverse proprietà, fondò Domaine Leroy nel 1988. Oggi i vigneti si estendono su 21 ettari nella maggior parte delle zone classificate Grand Cru e Premier Cru. Seguendo la sua profonda convinzione secondo cui tutto è vivo - dal terreno all'uva fino all'umanità - Lalou Bize-Leroy ha introdotto immediatamente l'agricoltura biodinamica per rispettare il terroir. Questa pratica di coltivazione all'inizio era controversa, ma è ormai un approccio olistico molto conosciuto che si concentra sull'interconnessione del nostro ambiente, tenendo conto anche delle influenze astrologiche e cosmiche. Senza l'utilizzo di fertilizzanti chimici, erbicidi, insetticidi o pesticidi, i vigneti sono curati tutto l'anno e tutto è fatto manualmente. I risultati di questa produttrice esigente in termini di qualità sono stupefacenti. I vini sono estremamente concentrati e raffinati, con una purezza rara che proviene dai vigneti della proprietà.
