Tasting notes
Leroy's 2002 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is beginning to drink beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries, spices, rose petal and vine smoke, followed by a full-bodied, dense and layered palate that's suave and voluminous, with incredible concentration, supple tannins and lively acids.

Deep red-ruby. Quintessential Clos de la Roche aromas of small wild red fruits, minerals, gunflint, mocha, smoke and spices. Dense, sappy and gripping, with extremely primary fruit character and deep spiciness; shows a level of vibrancy rare for the vintage. A wine of great definition and freshness, with explosive finishing flavors. A great example of this grand cru.
