Domaine Leroy, Corton Renardes Vintage:2013

Domaine Leroy, Corton Renardes Vintage:2013The sheer density of fruit here is nothing short of remarkable and the complexity is equally amazing and words cannot really do justice to the breadth of aromas though it is worth noting that there is veritable profusion of the classic sauvage character of a fine Renardes along with notes of plum like liqueur, earth and a smoky hint. This is a huge and powerful wine with overtly muscular flavors that ooze both minerality and tannin buffering extract

Greatly refined tannins and concentrated black fruit on the palate

crushed stones/mineral-nosed 2014 Chardonnay Yattarna opens out to perfumed notes of orange blossoms

that seems a little smudged initially but gains clarity with aeration

In a vintage where so many wines already appear tired

warm earth and dark berry fruit liqueur aromas

Awesome balance

Discreet raspberry aromas

It was bottled in November 2018

Like several wines in the range there is a subtle whiff of the exotic in the form of mandarin orange to the acacia blossom

Dark crimson

fat and concentrated

The old vines are very much apparent as this velvety yet very serious effort displays excellent power and like many of these Gevrey grands crus
