Nuits St. Georges Aux Lavieres 2007 Domaine Leroy

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (89)

Bize-Leroy’s 2007 Nuits-St.-Georges Aux Lavieres marries bright cherry fruit with game, black tea, and leather both in the nose and on the palate, where its juicy primary fruit is laced with cherry pit bitterness as well as animal allusions. Smoky, faintly bitter black tea is emphasized along with leather in a finish satisfyingly persistent if not refined or polished. This might well become more focused and shed its slight rusticity with time in bottle. In any case, I foresee no problem with following it over at least the next 5-7 years.
