Previous 2 bottles have had evidence of Brett. The Brett more noticeable on the nose than the palate. Still very drinkable - remember, it is Leroy. The following night the Brett much less noticeable. More savoury than fruit driven - a lovely texture and mouthfeel. All in all a good Village Bourgogne if not overpriced. — 10 months ago
An exceptional White Bourgogne - see previous Delectable notes. You wouldn’t expect anything less from Leroy. Peach and pear with minerality, acid and fruit all in balance. Of the 3 bottles I bought they have continually improved with each bottle. Wish I could afford their Premier and Grand Crus. The few I have tasted seem to be a cut above. A cuvée like Leroy Musigny is the provence of billionaires and potentates. — 2 years ago

Popped and poured into a decanter 30 minutes prior. Served double-blind. In the glass, the wine appears a deep garnet with some light staining and what appears to be some slight sediment. Medium+ viscosity. One the nose, a fascinating mix of spiced apple sauce, Fig Newtons, cherries, bruised strawberry, red plum, pink peppercorn, rosemary, baking spices, and pool raft (yes, that’s what you read)…and maaaaybe just a touch of the mouse which could be a clue as to where this might be from. On the palate, the wine is dry, medium tannin, medium++ acid, and alcohol medium+. This wine is complex with a long finish. Frankly, this is incredibly quaffable and ever so pretty! While I think could last longer, the low addition of sulfur has me thinking it’s best to drink these in the next few years. After all, they are delicious right now. — 9 months ago
Popped and poured from a 1.5L; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. This was singing from the first glass to the last. The 2015 “Cuvée Marcel Lapierre” pours a deep, hazy ruby/purple with a near opaque core. Medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the aromatics are off the hook. Still developing with beautiful red and dark fruits: pomegranate, cherry, strawberry, blackberries, herbs, mixed flowers and just a whiff of pastureland. Just lovely stuff. I could just smell my glass all evening and it might just be enough. Alas, I did drink. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium(+?) tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish was long and satisfying. Mathieu and Camille did an excellent job managing the solar nature of the vintage with this bottle. The vineyard source probably didn’t hurt: Cuvée Marcel Lapierre is a blend of fruit from ancient vines in Côte du Py and “Le Douby”. This paired really well with traditional holiday ham balls. Already drinking well now but sure to age effortlessly over the next 10-15 years. — 4 months ago
Mineral and precise. Needs time — a year ago
Enticing fruit and nutmeg on the nose. So much going on. The palate is essence of strawberry with some blueberry/current, and earthy savoury notes. Then the tannin arrives on the mid palate to wrap the fruit in a super fine shawl. Finely grippy and super long. Really amazing. — a year ago
