The 2017 Burgundy vintage was a welcome relief for winemakers, offering fairly decent yields and grapes harvested in good sanitary condition with optimal ripeness levels. Maison Leroy's Gevrey Chambertin 2017 is a testament to this successful year. Dressed in a bright ruby-red color, this wine initially reveals a discreet and subtle nose that intensifies with swirling, showcasing ripe black fruitiness, particularly black cherry and blackberry, complemented by pretty floral notes and a hint of licorice. The palate is dense, opening with juicy, savory black fruit, supported by a spicy and full-bodied tannic structure. The deep finish lingers on ripe, fine-grained tannins enveloped in red fruit, leaving a trail of graphite. Lalou Bize-Leroy's meticulous viticulture ensures this wine expresses the richness and power of its terroir. 🍴 Food Pairing: This gastronomy-oriented wine pairs exceptionally well with braised lamb with garlic and gravy sauce, or duck breast with pink berries. It is also an excellent match for beef, veal, poultry, game (deer, venison), and a variety of soft or hard cheeses. 🥂 Event Fit: A truly prestigious red Burgundy, this wine is ideal for significant dinners, celebrations, or as a prized addition to any serious wine collection. It offers excellent aging potential, with a drinking window extending to 2045. 【Maison Leroy's reputation for crafting practically unobtainable and highly prestigious Burgundies, standing with DRC.】
