Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The Domaine Leroy 2015 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is a wine for the ages, opening in the glass with a classic bouquet of incense, smoky black fruits, red cherry and pencil shavings. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and firm at the core, with an ample chassis of fine-grained tannins, excellent concentration and a firm, structural finish. Of all the Domaine Leroy 2015s, this—along with the Clos de la Roche—will demand the most extended cellaring.

The 2015 Clos de Vougeot is impressive for many reasons, not the least of which is how well it shows in this range of totally sublime wines. Dark, sumptuous and powerful, the 2015 is endowed with tremendous energy. Leather, cloves, smoke, graphite and cured meats reinforce an impression of gravitas.
