Bourgogne Rouge Maison Leroy 1999
/ #60558472
Maison Leroy is among the most respected names in Burgundy, known for its uncompromising approach to quality and terroir expression, even at entry-level appellations. Bourgogne Rouge is the producer's regional Pinot Noir, which often exhibits similarities to far more precise and detailed wines than usual for the category.
1999 is widely considered a classic and balanced vintage in Burgundy, characterized by ripe, clean fruit notes and a nice acid structure. The wine here typically shows the producer's stringent sorting and low yields, which gives extra concentration and finesse to the level. With over two decades of aging, the acid will have lifted the structure, and the fruit will have developed with tertiary nuances.
Bourgogne Rouge from this house generally enjoys a reputation for surprising aging ability and complexity for the class. Reviews of the vintage at Leroy mention liveliness, depth and aromatic precision, which is also true of this standard edition.
