1995 Pommard Les Vignots

Aromatically, the black-colored Pommard Les Vignots (200 cases) reveals dark, super-ripe and toasty fruits and an intense attack of massively chewy red and black fruits in its powerful, highly-structured and delineated, very long flavor profile. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2012. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided.||I have included the cases production for the wine in order for readers to appreciate the rarity of Leroy's wines.
