The 2009 Musigny is graced with superb purity in its sublime fruit, articulate bouquet and stunning overall balance. In this lineup it comes across as having just a touch less stuffing and overall structure, but it nevertheless is totally captivating. This is all silk and cashmere. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029.
This was my first opportunity to taste the 2009s from Domaine Leroy in bottle. Lalou Bize-Leroy was among the first, if not the first, to bottle her 2009s, so she naturally wanted to give the wines some time to recover before showing them. The wines are stunning. Readers who have an opportunity to taste them should not hesitate. As always, the style is one of textural richness and depth, but the2009s appear to have excellent underlying material as well. The attention to every detail at the Domaine is quite evident in these thrilling wines. My visit ended with a sample of the 2010 Chambertin from barrel. Why not go straight to the top? If that wine is representative of the year, Leroy fans will have another superb vintage to look forward to, although yields will be lower than the already minuscule production.
