Terroir and Winemaking
Sourced from Gevrey-Chambertin’s limestone-rich soils, this wine benefits from the structured minerality typical of the region. The 2003 vintage was marked by an intense heatwave in Burgundy, leading to concentrated, ripe fruit and a slightly lower acidity. Domaine Leroy’s meticulous biodynamic farming and strict selection process ensured that only the highest-quality grapes were used, resulting in a wine of exceptional depth and purity. The aging in high-quality French oak barrels has enhanced its complexity while maintaining harmony between fruit and tannins.
The Leroy Gevrey-Chambertin 2003 is a bold and luxurious expression of the terroir, shaped by an extreme yet fascinating vintage. It is a wine of power, depth, and velvety texture, offering a compelling balance between ripe fruit, spice, and classic Burgundy elegance.
