Due to her exceptionally low yields in 2002, Madame Leroy opted to produce only one village Nuits-St.-Georges. Its delicate aromas display violets and red cherries. Silky-textured, expansive, and pure, this is a bright, medium-bodied wine with ripe cherry flavors. Its tannin is not as sweet as that found in the Pommard, yet there are no jagged edges to be found. Anticipated maturity: now-2011.
Note: This estate’s 2002s are not yet released. The above estimate is based on the prices of the 2001s, taking into account that the dollar has significantly dropped.
