These whites epitomize the artistry of winemaking, with each sip revealing layers of flavors and a harmonious balance between fruit, minerality, and oak.

Vinous (90-93)Deep red-ruby. Sappy, slightly reduced aromas of raspberry, dark chocolate and smoke, plus some Vosne-like floral and mineral nuances. Ripe and sweet on the palate; more easygoing in structure and less voluminous than the '98 Leroy Volnay Santenots. Quite light on its feet. Finishes with very fine tannins and excellent length. |

Vinous (94)The 2015 Aux Vignerondes is gracious and light on its feet, especially within the context of Nuits. There is quite a bit of power, too, but it is expressed in more of a linear style. Mineral, earth, smoke and cured meat overtones add myriad shades of nuance. Aromatically precise and beautifully delineated, the Vignerondes is another captivating wine in this remarkable range of 1er Crus from Lalou Bize-Leroy. |

Vinous (94+)Bright ruby-red. Slightly blacker, less exotic nose dominated by dark berries, licorice and minerals. Less lush and more reserved today than the RSV but penetrating, vibrant and gripping. Really folded in on itself and hiding more than it's revealing; less obviously sweet than the RSV. But the long, minerally, very fine finish suggests that this wine will reward a decade or so of bottle aging. |

Wine Advocate (97)The 2002 Richebourg Grand Cru must surely be Lalou Bize-Leroy's finest wine of the vintage. It has more class than the 2002 Latricières-Chambertin--pure wild strawberry and black truffle on the nose that gathers momentum with each ticking hand of the clock as if to say: You want more? Of course you do. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin. There is great depth here as one expects from a Richebourg, not a powerful grand cru because this vintage was all about the nuance and delicacy, but it fans out wondrously on the finish with crushed strawberry and hints of cured meats. Very long, very elegant, very Leroy. This is an absolute treat. Tasted January 2016. |

Vinous (90)Good deep red. Ripe aromas of black raspberry, smoky oak and earth. Sweet, dense and vinous, with currant and licorice flavors and a solid mineral underpinning. Chewy and rich. Lalou Bize says this began with 13% natural alcohol and was chaptalized less than a degree. |

Vinous (94+)A more structured, tannic expression of Pinot emerges from the 2012 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Narbantons, where the flavors are dark, intense and brooding. Graphite, tar, violets and black stone fruits abound. The 2012 finishes with sizzling minerality, tension and overall structure. This is yet another superb showing from Domaine Leroy. |

Vinous (95)One of the many highlights in this flight of 1er Crus, the 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Narbantons is outrageously beautiful. From the very first taste, the Narbantons is lush, exotically ripe and silky. Time in the glass just brings out the wine’s sensual allure even further. The warmth of the vintage seems to have added an extra level of sweetness and softness to the tannins that make the Narbatons so seductive, even at this very early stage. The Narbantons has no beginning and no end, it just exists in a total sense of seamlessness and completeness that is frankly hard to capture with just words. What a gorgeous and utterly beguiling wine it is. |
