2011 Domaine Leroy Chambolle-Musigny Les Fremieres

2011 Domaine Leroy Chambolle-Musigny Les Fremieres In 2011, vignerons across Burgundy faced a race against time with an early start followed by a bafflingly cool and wet August. Nevertheless, Domaine Leroy’s vigilant guardianship over their cherished Chambolle Les Fremieres vineyard has yielded a wine of exquisite equipoise. The fruit, although harvested earlier than usual, reveals an inimitable elegance that imbues this particular interpretation of Pinot Noir with a dignified grace. Fine tannins and luminous acidity are harmonized in a balletic display of vinous finesse rare for such a challenging year. Critical Acclaim 90 Wine Advocate The portfolio of superb premier crus does not stop in Vosne-Romanee. Leroy’s 1991 Chambolle-Musigny-Les Fremieres reveals an opaque ruby/purple color. A moderately intense bouquet of red fruits, flowers, and vanillin is followed by rich, medium-bodied, silky-textured flavors that are brilliantly well-defined and long.
