🏰 【A highly acclaimed Domaine Leroy Pommard, noted for its complexity and impressive character, even in the challenging 2003 vintage, showcasing a lovely floral nose and lush layers of fruit.】 The 2003 vintage in Burgundy was a hot year, making the freshness and complexity of this wine particularly notable. [3] Domaine Leroy is renowned for producing exceptional Pinot Noir. This wine displays a deep cherry-red color. It offers a lovely floral nose with developed secondary flavors, and a rounder, more forward bouquet with disparate complexity. The palate is medium plus, full and rounded, with lush layers of fruit, more tannin, and lots of coffee-bean in the mouth. Expect dark berries and leather on the nose, with supple, fat, and full flavors of black raspberry and chocolate, which can be sweet but verge on heavy. Notes of raspberry, strawberry, smoke, earthy, forest floor, clove, oak, caramel, pepper, savory, cinnamon, dried rose, perfume, violet, black cherry, and cream are also present. [3, 20, 23, 37] 🍴 Pairs well with duck, game birds, roasted chicken, mushroom dishes, and beef bourguignon. 🥂 A wine for Burgundy enthusiasts and collectors, suitable for special dinners. It was still very young when reviewed and needs time to fully develop. [20]
