Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The Domaine Leroy 2015 Chambertin Grand Cru soars from the glass with a profound bouquet of cassis, cherry, raspberry, rose hip, grilled meat, spice and cedar. On the palate, the full extent of this wine's stunning amplitude and depth—and the reserves of energy that lie behind them—defy description. That a wine of such scale and concentration should be so seamless and complete is hard to fathom. The ecstatic commentary scribbled in my notebook concludes with the phrase "essence of wine."

The 2015 Chambertin rounds out this flight of Grand Crus in stunning style. In the glass, the Chambertin is not the most obvious or overt wine, but it nevertheless carries itself with a regal bearing. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, the 2015 offers plenty of depth and richness, yet also stays light on its feet. A rush of black cherry, plum, licorice, smoke and crushed flowers laces the extraordinarily beautiful, vivid finish. In a word: sublime.
