Vintage 2009

A warm spring with some hail in the northern part of the Côte de Nuits. After an even flowering and a warm June, the summer arrived with variable July weather. Fortunately August was fine with a period of hot weather in the second week. September started with some rain, then became fine and warm again. A harvest of healthy, ripe grapes followed.

Keep a case to age and follow its maturity over the years.

Bright ruby. Scented, red berries, somewhat spicy nose, fresh. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fresh and fruity, red berries, fairly nuanced, cool fruit for the vintage. 88

Maison Leroy Bourgogne Rouge 2009 Nose that starts with bright red berry fruit, raspberries and roses. Little VA that dissapears with air and reveals more earthy notes with dark cherries, iron, game meat and a balsamic note. Medium bodied with ripe dark cherry fruit, blueberries attack and more developed, earthy notes of leather and tar on the slightly hollow mid-palate. Bit rustic tannins and low acidity that makes the finish quite short though pleasant. Good for the appellation. Drink now-2015 83p.
