Tasting notes
Aromas of dark berries, cassis, rich soil tones and grilled meats introduce the 2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges, a deep and full-bodied wine that's envelopingly textural, its generous core of ripe, expressive fruit largely concealing the wine's powdery structuring tannins. Sapid and earthy, this is classic Nuits that is still not really ready for prime-time drinking.

Because of the tiny yields in 2015, Leroy bottled a single Nuits-Saint-Georges that includes fruit from Aux Allots, Aux Lavières and Bas de Combe. There is lovely energy and tension to match the wine’s mid-weight personality. Hints of graphite, smoke, plum, black cherry and earthiness add considerable nuance. The 2015 is an attractive wine, but it is also a bit rustic and closed in on itself, especially next to the other wines in this range. Then again, it is young Nuits.
