Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Leroy SA 2011
The wine
Maison Leroy has a superb Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Morgeots which surpasses many great wines: it is ample yet balanced. The nose evokes white blossom and hawthorn in the early years to evolve towards honey and wax. On the palate, the balance is perfect, full and rich, and perfectly balanced by this wine’s acidity. Taste it at the table and wait a few years before it reaches its full potential.
About the Producer Leroy SA
The legendary Leroy house in Auxey-Duresses was created by François Leroy in 1868. At the beginning of the following century, Henri Leroy contributed greatly to making these wines famous, and his daughter, Lalou Bize-Leroy, took over in 1971. Moreover, this icon of Burgundy made itself renowned by buying the Domaine Charles Noëllat to create its own domain. The Leroy family is also co-owner of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti with the Villaine family. The wines of the Leroy house have an exemplary quality. No doubt this is the greatest Burgundy wine. The grapes are meticulously selected; they must come from at least responsibly cultivated vines. The winemaking and maturing are carried out with as much care as in the domain that produces exceptional wines.
