2001 Domaine Leroy, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Cote de Nuits, France

Sourced from Leroy’s 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.
