Domaine Vincent Ledy
"Les Beaumonts" Chorey-Les-Beaune Pinot Noir
Chorey-les-Beaune, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
This is the best Chorey. I will fight you over that. Unreal nose. Just the cleanest and most expansive cherry fruit ever. Massive earth tones, massive mineral and so so expansive. Utterly classic as well as Ledy is as classic as it gets but also is such a clean and skilled winemaker that it’s not a dirty classicism. Juicy, young, sappy and so so pure. Amazing depth and so so clean. Just ultra clean. Pure and the best balance. He is the master of under $40 red burgs. And under $30 when tariffs actually go away. Amazingly compact fruit and such length, suavity and a hidden structure for this to age so well.

Mar 10th, 2021Intense red cherry core with lingering finish- well integrated secondary- tertiary notes of forest floor. Tannins a little grippy. Enjoyable now. Could age another 5.
