Tasting notes
The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges is a blend of the domaine's three village-level lieu-dits (Aux Allots, Aux Lavières, Bas de Combe), as production was too small to make separate bottlings feasible. A brooding, dark wine, the Nuits possesses serious tannic clout and tons of raw power. Black cherry, plum, leather and spice add to an impression of somber gravitas. Readers will have to be patient with the 2017, but I imagine it will always remain a rather virile Burgundy.

Once again, Bize-Leroy opted to assemble the lieux-dits Aux Allots, Aux Bas de Combe and Lavières into a single 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges. The wine is showing well, opening up to reveal notes of cassis, grilled squab, rose hips and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and attractively concentrated, energetic palate structured around fine and powdery tannins. The finish is long and sapid.
About the producer
For many, Domaine Leroy represents the pinnacle of fine Burgundy. Owned and run by the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy, the domaine in Vosne-Romanée is one strand of the Leroy empire, along with Maison Leroy and Domaine d’Auvenay.
