Vintage 2001

2001 VINTAGE in Burgundy

A promising start to the new millennium...
 

Growing season and weather conditions

The winter, during which the vines lay dormant, was a mild one.

The first signs of bud-burst came early but wintry conditions in April accompanied by frosts in the most exposed vineyards slowed down the start of the growing season.

Spring, from May onwards, was marked by periods of fine sunny weather.

The first flowers...

Written Notes

The signature, deep, dark spice of Leroy was evident immediately. Brian hailed it as ‘the best flight.’ The 2001 was solid but lost a step in the glass. The 2000 outboxed its weight class; this was so rich for a 2000. It also outclassed the 2001 with its deep, heavy, rich and pleasing fruit. The 1996 was classic. It has always been a great vintage for Leroy as her style plays well into the highly acidic profile of 1996. The 1990 got another ‘solid’ from me, but the Richebourg seized hold off the flight immediately. It was just better than all the rest.
