🏰 The 2017 Burgundy vintage produced an exuberant nose with sweeter and darker fruit than the Bourgogne Rouge, complemented by a hint of smokiness. On the palate, it's both fresh and dense, with underlying power and fine tannins that make it feel light on its feet, culminating in a long finish laden with crunchy fruit. This wine is very approachable now. 【A benchmark for the appellation, the 2017 Maison Leroy Cote de Beaune Villages Rouge is an enchanting Pinot Noir, showcasing vibrant red fruit, silky texture, and remarkable purity, a testament to Leroy's exacting biodynamic viticulture.】 It bursts with red currants, wild strawberries, rose petals, and subtle earthy nuances, offering a silky texture and vibrant acidity that are seamlessly integrated, delivering remarkable purity and a lingering, elegant finish.
