Score 91-94/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2015

(from en Charlemagne; tasted from a new barrel): Bright, healthy yellow. Perfumed aromas of ginger, lavender and sea salt. Very light on its feet thanks to firm mineral-driven acidity and a bracing note of lime. This very suave wine, from a tiny crop, finishes adamantly dry and lively. Leroux has just two barrels of this juice, vs. a normal six or seven.

The 2014 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a slightly conservative bouquet that does not quite come to grips with the terroir, just a little anonymous after the Chassagne-Montrachet. The palate is better with a touch of reduction, walnut and burnt toast, nutmeg and honeycomb towards the long finish. I must admit, I could not get my head around this barrel sample.
