Tasting Notes
Leroux’s Charmes-Chambertin is traditionally drawn from 0.15 hectares of vines planted in 1965. Leroux’s historic source is situated in Mazoyères-Dessus, the favoured, top part of this vineyard, near Combottes and the Grand Cru Latricières-Chambertin. This year sees the addition of a parcel of fruit from Charmes-Chambertin proper, so it’s a blend of both sections of the vineyard. As per last year, the 2021 fermented with one-third whole bunches. Tasted from barrel, it’s an extremely stylish Grand Cru, both deep and elegant, with marvellous perfume, length and powdery structure. - Importer Note
Less is more! Minimal intervention or Lo-fi wines encapsulate those producers who keep additions and manipulations to a minimum during the winemaking process. This means the wines are wild fermented, unfiltered and unfined, and only add sulfur during the process.
