Tasting notes
Maison Leroy’s 2017 Pommard speaks of its terroir, combining rich, brooding, ripe blackberry, with hints of blackcurrant and a touch of rusticity, lifted by the freshness and precision of the vintage. On the palate, it has a firm but delicate structure with chewy tannins that are both muscular and velvety. Tasted right after a flight of 2018s, this seems much more approachable (as is often the case with 2017s). The refreshing backbone of acidity drives through the core of the wine, lending a beautiful sappiness to the long finish.
About the producer
The négociant arm of Lalou Bize-Leroy's Burgundy empire is Maison Leroy. The Leroy name provides a seal of Madame Leroy's approval and the very finest quality, with the wines released only when she deems them ready to drink. They are undoubtedly some of the most sought-after bottlings in the region.
