WTN - Domaine Leroy x 2, Viva!

by Eric Lo » Fri Sep 05, 2008 11:31 am

Like Gary Vaynerchuk said, bringing the thunder!

These two wines are drinking so beeautifully !

06 Aligote, Dom. Leroy - First ever vintage with less than 300 cases annual production, the yellowed waxed sealed wine has wowed me right from the start! Opened up with lots of toasty oak and nuttiness paired nicely with pear and cirtrus fruit which later reveals a hint of mineral and flower! In the mouth, rich but elegant fruit plus some nuttiness and butter , a bit spicy on the finish along with delicate and mouthwatering acidity. Arguably the best value of Dom. Leroy's range of wines.

93 Savigny-les-Beaune, Les Narbantons, Dom. Leroy [/b]- another superb wine! Fully matured wine with a bit of leather , orange peel pivoted by red fruit in the background which later reveal more mineral and flower plus some sesame oak barrel, fully integrated and so mesmerising indeed! In the palate, it has rich , elegant and layered fruit plus resolved and velvety tannin paired nicely with red fruit and some barnyard at the finish. Not a wine of structure, a little melochonic, but touching. Drinking at its peak! With an annual production of 2000btls, grab whatever btl you can find and it's that good!

I love Leroy's style, but I've never had her aligote. Maybe it's the name (alley goat, anyone?), but that's a grape I've never warmed to. I've been assured there are versions that actually don't taste like French Colambard, which is all I've experienced but for a bottle by I don't remember who--Gamble?--brought over once by Professor Dietz, and it sounds like this would be one.
My wine shopping and I have never had a problem. Just a perpetual race between the bankruptcy court and Hell.--Rogov
