Due to a freezing cold in April, the production of the year was limited to an average of 3 hectolitres per hectare. The local wine has a golden yellow colour and a woody scent which gets lighter by the years. The wine has a mild, lemony and fresh taste. The bottled wine can be kept for several years in a cellar. Leroy is confident about his product...
As always, the wine has a beautiful golden yellow colour, a mixture of sweet, rich, lightly roasted and complex taste. The wine has a very sharp, acidic, lemony, yet a beautiful and long lasting taste in the mouth.
Due to the mildew disease, Leroy’s vines were badly affected. This year was a very difficult one with a loss that he had never seen before. Still, the colour and the scent are always present. A slight acidity in the mouth marks certain opulence due to an alcohol level of 14.7%
The wine has a golden yellow colour, a soft taste of dry fruits like roasted almonds, hazelnuts and oak. It has a rich body and a complex palate with a good acidity of grapefruit. While very promising, this wine still needs a bit of time to mature.
This type is characterised with a fruity scent, balanced with a beautiful floral touch. The woody taste is mild with a unique softness. It is a wine yet to be discovered.
Not to everybody’s taste, a very mellow woody scent with a fruity touch. The acidic and woody tastes are less present. The wine is still at a stage where it is still not at its best.
A very difficult wine to vinify and the smell of the cellar is that of ethyl acetate (adhesive tape) during the fermentation stage. The wines became interesting with a mineral scent, a soft fruity taste and a touch of the Alsatian Riesling. It is fair to conclude that Leroy’s wines require time to mature.
