Tasting notes
Reviewed by: David Schildknecht
From a combe high above the village, Leroy’s 2005 Pommard Les Vignots displays a fascinating nose of roasted meats and jasmine, coats the palate with polished, creamy, chocolate-covered plums and reduced meat stock, and finishes with excellent persistence, sweetness but clarity of fruit, and subtle notes of wet stone, wood smoke and flowers. Only belatedly do the abundant tannins catch up with my palate. Importer: Martine’s Wines. Novato, CA; tel. (415) 883-0400

Good deep red. Smoke, minerals, meat and earth on the soil-driven nose. Not a particularly fruity style, but complex, fairly rich and nicely balanced nonetheless, offering notes of smoke, earth, coffee and minerals. Rather tannic at the moment.
