Mushroom and dirt on the nose. Soft and elegant silky and perfectly balanced. Cooked meat and burnt rubber what a treat. Silky smooth. Perfection in a bottle

As with all Leroy wines, they possess a subtlety that is, at times, challenging to pinpoint. Elegant and refined, the Leroy Vosne-Romanée Les Genevrières 2001 is slightly brickish at the rim with fine flecks of sediment. It unfurls slowly, offering up arresting aromas of dried rose petal, dried leaves and wild strawberries. Silky, with fine tannins, this masterpiece has a minerally core intertwined with notes of dried tea leaves, forest branches, spice and the merest hint of orange peel on the finish.

Yet another mind-blowing Leroy, I think I've spoken on this before, but every time I pop this one you can't help but be amazed about the ethereal qualities of it, it's magical, a moment in time defining wine...

Magical, ethereal & elusive.
Reductive, complex & balanced.
Just a couple of words to describe how outstanding this wine is.

Wow, yes it's a little dirty & reductive, almost resembling a white in the style of reduction, but this wine is so singing right now, being as young as it is, to be so aromatically lifted, the aromas go on for days, outstanding stuff.
