8.9

Lalou. She is epic, as are her wines. This one was maybe a little advanced in the aging for 15yo, but the acid and profile were beautiful. — 10 years ago

Les Vignots Pommard Pinot Noir 1999

Christine Havens

9.6

A stunning 1999 Pommard from Domaine Leroy headed by the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy. Incredible complexity on the nose, which evolved throughout the evening. First impressions were of subtle spice and flowers, forest and earth, alpine strawberries and red berries, dried mint and wild game. In the mouth, the structure is superbly focused. Silky, fruit-laden texture encompassed in fine tannins and stately power. This wine is precise, balanced, ethereal. — 11 years ago

Les Beaux Monts Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2001

Christine Havens

9.5

The Leroy Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 2001 possesses a sublime, deep inner perfume of dewy meadow flowers, crushed raspberry, forest floor and pitched top-notes of pine and incense. Ruby and translucent, it's incredibly fresh and vibrant with subtle complexity on the palate. Layers of wild red berries, iron, spiced crabapple and rose hips cavort amidst ultra-fine tannins and minerally notes. This is a wine with fine bones, it's all lightness and air, much like the enigmatic Lalou Bize-Leroy herself. — 10 years ago
