The 2002 Vosne-Romanee Les Genaivieres sports an almost mature nose of cherries and spices. Its structured core and firm personality display black fruits and brambleberries. This medium-bodied effort should be drunk over the next 6-7 years. 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. Importers include: Martine’s Wines, Novato, CA; tel.

Medium red. Raspberry and minerals on the nose. Sappy, spicy and floral in the mouth, but without quite the definition of the Nuits Saint-Georges. Finishes with dusty tannins and good but not outstanding length. A bit less deep than the last sample, and more accessible for earlier consumption.
About the producer
For many, Domaine Leroy represents the pinnacle of fine Burgundy. Owned and run by the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy, the domaine in Vosne-Romanée is one strand of the Leroy empire, along with Maison Leroy and Domaine d’Auvenay.
