TN: 2001 Domaine Leroy Corton-Charlemagne

An absolutely superb white Burgundy. This was certainly ripe and forward in typical Leroy fashion, but at the same time also wonderfully fine and absolutely delicious. It had such an incredible nose, with layers of lovely chalky minerality along with honeyed aromas of stone fruit along and little dashes of spice. A deep and glorious bouquet. If anything though, the palate was even better - sweet, melting, juicy, and just impeccably balanced, it coated the mouth with honeyed flavours of yellow fruit and brighter citrus notes leading into a full, spice-filled finish. A wine of power and purity, somehow managing to hold the both in perfect tension. It was drinking wonderfully well too. The stand-out wine of the night by some distance. Wow.

Thanks! Always nice to get bearings!

Love this vintage and wine so so much.

It is a stunner… unfortunately not a bottle that is that readily accessible anymore
