Leroy 1969 Echezeaux

This 1969 vintage is the work of Henri Leroy, father of the "old lady" (Lalou Bize‑Leroy).

First glass: A hint of rotten egg and fruit, but I could not perceive much structure.

Second glass: Very intense honey notes with scattered dried flowers, a mix of jammy fruit and savoury umami. It felt like honey and peony paste melting on a soda cracker in the mouth. The structure is rounded.

Third glass: After an hour, the wine fully opened up. Tertiary aromas emerged – leather, forest floor, earth. Tannins are silky, structure balanced, making it highly enjoyable.

Fourth glass: Tea notes… a faint ginseng oolong tea.

Overall: With a fill level above the shoulder, this nearly 60‑year‑old wine showed a satisfying state – mature and balanced. It felt a bit tired at first, but once opened up, it became remarkably elegant and surprising. — 12 days ago

Bright sweet fruit. Very pretty cherry, violets, mellow oak. Young but very pretty. Plush and expanse. Needs time but lovely stuff — 3 years ago

2020 vintage. Opened and decanted. Tasted after 3 hours open. Medium/medium-heavy body. Big cranberry, baking spice, plum and pomegranate nose + flavors. Expectedly intense and full throttle Much too young to exhibit any modicum of tea-like or earthy notes. Think we’re gonna hafta wait (at least) 15 years for those to creep in but it’ll be worth the wait. 4.23.26. — 4 months ago

Quite a treat! Pale garnet color and not oxidized. You had to delve into the wine to get its fruit compounds. Though light it showed elegance and polished flavor. We enjoyed it.😀🍷 — 7 years ago

Expressive bouquet: flowers, strawberry, chocolate, fig, animal farm, mushrooms, wet wool and vanilla. Well balanced, good acidity, evolving taste. Flavours of milk chocolate with wild strawberry and sweet tobacco in the finish. Quaffable wine with persistent aftertaste. Great wine.

Wonderfully fragrant with notes of cinnamon gum, amaretto, leather shop, white mushroom, spiced plum on the nose. Mellow notes of cherry pie, buttery crust, with hints of marzipan on the palate with smooth tobacco and cinnamon on a nice lingering finish. Drink by itself! :) — 7 years ago
