Latricieres Chambertin Domaine Leroy 1996

Alongside Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leroy produces some of the most exclusive and highly sought-after wines in Burgundy. Originally formed in 1988 by the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy, the cult domaine comprises approximately 23 hectares, including significant parcels in nine Grands Crus and eight Premier Crus. All the vines are farmed biodynamically and have been since 1988. This particular release come from a 0.57-hectare plot in the Grand Cru Latricières-Chambertin, which was added to the Leroy holdings in 1989. The 1996 vintage is perfectly mature right now, offering plenty of ripe black cherries, truffles, baking spices and a touch of damp earth.
