Maison Leroy Bourgogne

See Ernestas’ note. Really good; easily 1er. Expressive and integrated with beautiful red fruit on the nose and palate with sous bois; not at all tired.

2003 vintage

This wine is ageless. Insanely young. Great bottle.

2003 vintage

Always a pleasure to come back and taste Leroy, even this entry level Bourgogne is beautifully elegant and refined. Medium garnet coloured, tawny hue. Intense aroma of earth, cherries, smoke, smoky strawberries, medicine cabinet. Medium- body, rich and well preserved fruitiness with earthy cherry and strawberry flavours, smoky edges, elegant and medium densed structure, well integrated high acidity and fine medium tannins.

醒酒半小时，淡红茶色，闻香有淡淡肉鲜，丁香肉桂一类的香料味，樱桃红果，淡淡泥土气息，果味很鲜活，入口酸度高，单宁紧涩，有点糊嘴，细砂纸颗粒，酒液很咸，湿石头矿物感，盐渍话梅的口感，伴随着樱桃果香，后段香料辛辣，余味满口新鲜红果，淡淡木质香气，口中回甘。醒酒两三个小时以后完全打开，闻香有果梗带来的植物和花香，樱桃和山楂一类的红果，一些白石灰气息，入口甜美感有所上升，单宁依然紧涩，稍微柔和了一点，口中梗味明显，伴随着新鲜红果，樱桃，蔓越莓，中后段香气绵绵不绝地输出，华丽如香水般绽放，悠长的果味混合着香料感一直不断延伸，融合在木质香气中，带着香草味，在口中久久不散，精致而又鲜活，没有丝毫老态，让人很难想象这是一支2003年的酒。五六个小时以后能感觉到状态有点下坡，老酒的陈年氧化特征略有体现。一款风格经典，单宁强劲的酒，处在适饮巅峰期，口感很纯净，保存状态一流，还可以继续陈年。

Quite concentrated and powerful for an entry level Bourgogne appellation, and especially considering its age and vintage! Redcurrant, cherry pit, black tea, earthy with eucalyptus notes. Surprising tight knit tannin, med+ concentration. Very nice!

2003 vintage

First time trying, not bad, still tannic, but fruit getting thin. Revealing some sweetness in time. 88

2003 vintage

Heat damaged, I assume. The cork was leaky and capsule soaked with strange crusty mold. The wine is pruney and hot and sage and tannins. There is no pleasure in this bottle.

2003 vintage

Cork was completely soaked, mold on top but the leak must have provided a good seal cause the level was almost to the neck. Very young color. Medium ruby, not a sign of garnet yet. Red fruits, black tea and damp cellar on the nose. Dry, earthy, leathery with grippy tannins. Very complex. A complete different wine from three years ago. It's as if it's entering maturity. Decant next time.

Cette bouteille était considérablement meilleur que ma première. Après un certain temps dans le verre, il a exprimé une vigueur et puissance surprenante considérant, son age, le millésime et le fais qu'il s'agisse d'un simple bourgogne. La signature d'une grande productrice!

Bourgogne and Village Dinner (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore) : A very strong showing for Bourgogne from 2003. This was drinking really well on the night too. I really liked the nose, with its shades of spice and bramble, a touch of earth, and then nice notes of dark berries and red cherries. The palate was drinking ever so well, with the remnant of firm 2003 tannins having softened into velvety robe around flavours of red dates and dark …

2003 vintage

Earthy and dark fruit. Pretty tertiary at this stage. Sweet oaky spices on the palate.

2003 vintage

Great nose, bright fruits, but on the palate its an acid bomb. No better the second night.

2003 vintage

Tasted blind among several 1er and GC wines: enormously profuse nose of Framboise, literally screams red fruit. Great depth of flavors yet little evolution into complexity. While initially surprised to see what it was, shouldn't have been. Leroy's bourgognes always seem to be the biggest and craziest when young yet who ever keeps them long enough to see what they turn into? For me, the '99 is just beginning to emerge. Bought a bunch of the '05s and '09s, the …

2003 vintage

Ce vin m’a considérablement impressionné considérant son âge. La couleur trahie les années mais en bouche l’on y retrouve encore beaucoup de vigueur. Les tanins sont même encore bien présents. Ce vin présente une belle longueur en bouche avec beaucoup de fraicheur, même un peu de menthe. La cerise est l’autre fruit prédominant. Je me retient pour ne pas donner une meilleure note.

2003 vintage

Old and soaked through cork. Mould on the top of the bottle under the capsule, as is normal for the domaine. I have never opened a Leroy without this mould. Orange bricking in the edges but deep red centre. Haunting nose of immense depth and complexity. Ripened and dried fruits, leather, spiced wood, cigar box, tobacco and dried meat. Really something special here. Nose jumps out of the glass and fills the room. The palate is intense and fruit driven …

Encore un Leroy avec un bouchon douteux! Le vin est étonnamment foncé. Bouquet intéressant animal et épicé. Et puis c'est tout. La bouche est courte sur une trame acide, le fruit évanoui ou presque. Décevant. Très même. Passé date comme on dit.

2003 vintage

Crimson, bricking with a perfume bouquet rich with soil, moist earth, stewed cherries, tobacco, and toasted Easter bread..wow! In the palate, more of the same, warm, still has lively acidity nuanced with minerality. What a treat with Mom And Dad and my beautiful wife on a summer night!

2003 vintage

Corked soaked through with some mould under the foil. The wine however was in fine condition. Vinturi aerated and decanted for 75 minutes. No sediment. Medium red with slight red brick edges, clear, legs short and slow. Interesting aromas of earth, toast and spices. Soft velvety mouthfeel, slightly drying but in a pleasant way. Cherry notes added to the richness and thankfully not overly fruity. The short finish was a disappointment. Overall the QPR is not high enough IMO to …

2003 vintage

After my last bottle gave this a good 4 hours slow ox. Typical sodden cork. Dark purple red. Very funky nose to begin with. With time highly perfumed, dark red fruits, charcuterie, animale, autumnal forest floor. Weightless palate, tightly wound and concentrated, sweet dark cherries, confection, game, soy, tannic structure reminiscent of Barolo. Altogether very youthful with a long way ahead of it.

2003 vintage

Nose - subtle, cranberry Mouth - smooth, nicely balanced, berries, with prominent tannins, long clean finish. Still with plenty of life.

2003 vintage

92/100 Not the best bottle of Leroy 2003 that I had, but the class is there. Thin and delicate, with strawberry and blueberry sauce. Neat and balanced palate - but as we are drinking at the river bank, and the temperature is cold and windy, as it cools down, there’s chewy grainy tannin that adds astringency. Despite all, I’m in love with old lady Lalou Bize-Leroy. She totally rocks.

2003 vintage

This is a very good wine and great Bourgogne well worth the money. Make no mistake, she does not make modern-styled wines and if that’s what you’re after, or if you don’t give this at least an hour, 2 is better, of open bottle slow-ox time, you’ll be dissapointed. Upon opening, the ‘03ness of that vintage shows in its fruit, but it opens up wonderfully to show real and terrific Pinot old school and true burg style only Leroy can …

2003 vintage

93+/100. SO GOOD Found it in Roddy Damalis’s cellar in Ta Piatakia Limassol - and though I wanted just water at first, I just couldn’t pass by it. Old lady Lalou Bize Leroy makes wonders indeed. It’s her baseline red, from a challenging and hot vintage of 2003, and there’s so much beauty and grace. Light non-sticky jam of strawberries, red flowers pollen, velvety and delicate, somewhat lost in its own thoughts, neatly balanced, with harmony and a passing sweetness …

2003 vintage

Obvious bricking, no sediment Pretty bouquet..cigarette, cooked cherry, wet earth, soil Palate much the same, medium finish, gentle wine with good balance, harmony, but light. Drank after Boston Marathon with 2 other runners post race celebration!
