An absolute Clos de Vougeot rarity from Domaine Leroy
Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2014 – Domaine Leroy is a monumental Pinot Noir that embodies the purest expression of the austere nobility of this legendary Burgundian clos. Crafted by Lalou Bize-Leroy, an icon of biodynamic viticulture and artisanal winemaking, the 2014 vintage offers a harmonious combination of precision, aromatic complexity, and vibrant freshness, shaped by a cool and perfectly balanced year
The wine opens with an evocative bouquet of black cherry, plum, dark spices, and forest floor, lifted by a distinctly mineral and almost ferrous note. On the palate, it reveals a deep and structured profile, remarkably vertical in its architecture, with finely sculpted tannins and incisive acidity that carries the wine through an exceptionally long evolution. The finish is savory, layered, and persistent, progressively unveiling both its elegance and its power.
Wine Advocate awards it 97 points, describing it as “a Clos de Vougeot of rare finesse and precision, with world-class depth.” Burghound rates it 96 points, noting it as “powerful yet refined, with silky tannins and impeccable aromatic detail.” Jasper Morris scores it 96–98 points, calling it “a chiselled and luminous interpretation of this historic Grand Cru.”
Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2014 by Domaine Leroy stands as one of the most coveted expressions of this iconic terroir. Its combination of legendary origin, artisanal craftsmanship, and extremely limited availability makes it an essential reference for collectors and true enthusiasts of great Burgundy reds.
