The NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 744 is soft, open-knit and caressing. The natural radiance of the vintage comes through in the wine's ample, creamy feel. Apricot, spice, dried flowers, hazelnut and lightly honeyed notes are all beautifully laced together.
Producer: Jacquesson
For the 2018 harvest in Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers (68%), Avize and Oiry (32%), the previous winter was exceptionally rainy, this was followed by a mild, stormy spring. The weather changed from June onwards, becoming fine and dry, resulting in a particularly early harvest: we started picking on 30 August and finished on 11 September. The vines were in perfect...

NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 743 (2015 base) is soft, open-knit and caressing. The natural radiance of 2015 comes through in the wine's ample, creamy feel. Apricot, spice, dried flowers, hazelnut and lightly honeyed notes are all beautifully laced together.
Producer: Bouquin Dupont Fils
A wonderful champagne, 100% Chardonnay of Avize from vineyards more than 60 years old. A base of citrus fruit melted with the scent, and taste, of a custard where there are also two drops of lemon juice. Delicious and enjoyable.
Producer: Jacquesson
2017, the harvest from Ay, Dizy, Hautvillers (66%) Avize and Oiry (34%). Winter and Spring were exceptionally dry; the beginning of Spring was mild but, in April, destructive frosts ravaged the vineyards, especially in the Côte des Blancs. Temperatures then rose and the weather was good until July. The end of the growing season was hot but very wet. The...

2019. Winter was mild and dry. Spring frost struck three times and mainly caused damage to our Chardonnay vines, hence the predominance of the Pinots in this cuvee. Summer was dry with heatwaves that caused sunburn. We harvested a very high-quality crop with moderate yields from 12th to 22nd September. The wines are structured, balanced, long and complex....

Bright ruby-red. Pure, minerally aromas of blackberry, strawberry, raspberry and violet pastille. Dense, stony and sweet; this offers lovely vibrancy as well as a seductively round, seamless texture. Finishes with very suave tannins and terrific length. In its best vintages, like this one, Leroy's Fremières strikes me as distinctly Musigny-like, even...
Producer: Domaine Leroy
Good bright, deep red with ruby highlights. Fruitier aromas of black cherry and flowers. Sweet and juicy, with brisk acids giving shape and grip to the pure dark cherry flavour.
Producer: Domaine Leroy
Good medium red. Blacker, fresher aromas of dark cherry and minerals. Juicy, spicy and sweet on the plaate, with good grip and thrust to the dark fruit flavors.
Producer: Domaine Leroy
The 2000 Boudots has a beautiful bouquet, bright and vivid with red berry fruit, leather, potpourri and a subtle musky note. The palate is well balanced and nicely focused, quite Vosne-like in terms of tannic structure with a lilting curry leaf and espresso notes towards the finish.
Producer: Domaine Leroy
Darker ruby-red color. Brooding cassis and licorice nose, with a whiff of earth and a mineral pungency. Thicker, larger-scaled and sweeter than the Lavieres, but very unevolved. But this premier cru already shows lovely finesse. Has a solid underlying structure for aging.
Producer: Domaine Leroy
Excellent ruby-red color. Musky, tangy aromas of raspberry, cherry, coffee and dark chocolate. Fat, silky, sweet and pliant; pure fruit flavors enlivened by lovely vinosity. A wine of very good rather than outstanding density but impeccably balanced. Finishes with lush tannins and very good length.
Producer: Domaine Leroy
Good medium red. Spicy cherry and redcurrant aromas. Juicy and precise, with good freshness and cut. Offers a lovely fruit/acid balance. With modest stuffing, this comes across as fairly tannic, but the finish is bright and persistent.
Producer: Domaine Leroy
Excellent red-ruby color. Very ripe, musky aromas of black cherry, minerals and licorice, with tarry and medicinal nuances. Fat and full, with an almost liqueur-like sweetness along with a repeating medicinal note.
Producer: Domaine Leroy
Good deep ruby-red. Dark berries and leather on the nose. Supple, fat and full, with somewhat chunky flavors of black raspberry and chocolate. Sweet but verging on heavy.
Producer: Domaine Leroy
One of the many highlights in this flight of 1er Crus, the 2003 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Narbantons is outrageously beautiful. From the very first taste, the Narbantons is lush, exotically ripe and silky. Time in the glass just brings out the wine’s sensual allure even further. The warmth of the vintage seems to have added an extra level of sweetness and...
Producer: Domaine Leroy
Deep ruby-red. Slightly reduced, reserved nose hints at superripe dark fruits and roasted nuts. Extremley ripe but a bit youthfully stunted, with slightly roasted, chocolatey flavor.
