Made from the Pinot Noir grape variety, this wine hails from the prestigious Nuits St Georges region in France. With a beautiful deep red color in the glass, it is a sight to behold.

On the nose, this wine initially reveals itself as a bit shy, but as it opens up, it unveils a complex array of aromas. Notes of blackberry, cola, and a touch of broom dance together, creating an enticing bouquet. Wilted rose petals add a touch of elegance and grace to the overall aromatic profile.

Upon tasting, the palate is treated to a rounded and lithe experience. The oak is slightly more pronounced at the moment, but with time, it will integrate seamlessly into the wine. Gradually, the flavors build, leading to a complete and caressing finish. Black cherry and black olive take center stage, leaving a lasting impression on the taste buds.

This wine has a medium alcohol content of 13.0%, which adds to its overall balance and refinement. The closure is a classic cork, a testament to the traditional winemaking methods employed by Domaine Leroy.

Renowned wine critic Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine an impressive score of 92. In his tasting note, he highlights the gradual development of flavors and the memorable spicy note on the aftertaste.
