Scores and tasting notes
Aromas of rich berry fruit, grilled game bird, spices and rose petals introduce Leroy's 2015 Vosne-Romanée Aux Genaivrières, a full-bodied, broad and enveloping wine with a rich core of fruit, ripe acids and powdery tannins. Deep and concentrated, this Vosne-Romanée is more overtly sun-kissed than the Chambolle-Musigny Les Fremières drunk several weeks later, yet the balance is impeccable for the long haul.
