Domaine Leroy
Visit Domaine Leroy stands at the top of the Burgundy pyramid, both literally and figuratively, in search of the best Burgundy possible. Robert Parker says: "I'll keep my tasting notes brief, recognizing that in this situation, it's almost criminal to try to describe wines that could be the greatest red Burgundies I'll ever taste. Today, François Leroy is the owner of this fine house. But it's hard not to mention Lalou Bize-Leroy, who has elevated the domaine to the pinnacle of Burgundy.

To give you an idea of the quality of the Nuits st Georges du Henri Gouges Estateread this tasting of the 2015 vintage of Nuits St Georges Les St Georges by Neal Martin :
"They took three or four minutes to reveal themselves... But what a bouquet! Copious aromas of black cherry, cranberry juice, pomegranate and bergamot, infused with prodigious minerality. The medium-bodied palate reveals saturated tannins, an abundance of blood orange infusing red and black fruits, lively acidity and a light grip on the finish. This is one of the best vintages I've tasted in recent years. This should be considered a 'lightning victory' for the 2015 vintage, but without wanting to sound like a broken record, cellar it for five to seven years to reach its plateau."

Dominique Laurent Estate
access to Dominique Laurent's sales
Dominique Laurent owns a very fine Burgundy domaine. Mr. Parker's tasting of the 1993 Vaucrains is very representative: "Dominique Laurent's 1993s are massive, concentrated, huge, intense wines that will require 8-10 years of cellaring." One of the villages where Dominique Laurent has fabulous sources for good juice is his hometown of Nuits St.-Georges, not a particularly easy appellation to excel in 1993. The prodigious Nuits St.-Georges Les Vaucrains, from a vineyard planted in 1920, is one of the Laurent portfolio's greatest wines. This hippopotamus of a wine has an opaque black color, heavy, sweet black cherry, raspberry and black currant fruit, interwoven with smoky mineral scents. Full-bodied, beautifully extracted, sweeter and fleshier than many of the 1993 Laurentians, this wine should be accessible in 5 years and last for 25.

With a 60-acre parcel at "Bas de Combes", which forms the border with Vosne-Romanée, Méo Camuzet's Nuits St-Georges are very round and supple on the palate. The latest vintages, 2015 and 2016, are particularly successful.
