Lot #163. Domaine Leroy Richebourg 2002

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 97 NM.
"The 2002 Richebourg Grand Cru must surely be Lalou Bize-Leroy's finest wine of the vintage. It has more class than the 2002 Latricières-Chambertin--pure wild strawberry and black truffle on the nose that gathers momentum with each ticking hand of the clock as if to say: "You want more?" Of course you do. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin. There is great depth here as one expects from a Richebourg, not a powerful grand cru because this vintage was all about the nuance and delicacy, but it fans out wondrously on the finish with crushed strawberry and hints of cured meats. Very long, very elegant, very Leroy. This is an absolute treat. Tasted January 2016." Wine Advocate #223, Mar 2016
Provenance: The Atlantic Cellar
Notes: 2cm, Chipped wax capsule, nicked vintage neck tag, nicked, very lightly damp stained, very lightly scuffed label, #00188.
