2001 Domaine Leroy, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru

Details

Sourced from Leroys biodynamically farmed vines within the prestigious Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, this 2001 vintage showcases precision-driven viticulture and traditional winemaking. Grapes are hand-harvested and rigorously sorted to ensure optimal fruit quality. Fermentation is conducted using whole clusters in large wooden vats, allowing natural yeasts to initiate a slow, controlled process. Extended maceration techniques like pigeage and remontage are applied to maximize extraction and develop texture. The wine completes malolactic fermentation in temperature-controlled subterranean cellars before aging exclusively in French oak barrels. This patient, layered approach produces a wine of great finesse, depth, and terroir expression.
