The handful of critics that whine about Mme. Leroy's wines all tasting the same should go to the trouble of acquiring and tasting her wines rather than repeating some of Burgundy's most appalling and viscous rumors. The proof is in the pudding, as her intense line-up of distinctly different 1995 Nuits demonstrates. A super wine, the Nuits-St.-Georges Les Vignes Rondes (75 cases), is a synthesis in style between the Au Bas De Combe and the Les Lavieres, it has the former's spices and earth aromas, masculine structure, yet the latter's elegance and power. Full-bodied and packed with baking spices, it will be at its best between 2002-2012. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided.
