DESCRIPTION

A brooding and almost mute nose allows only glimpses of an earthy mélange of wild red and blue berry fruit aromas that are followed by rich, full and quite serious medium-bodied flavors that possess both good volume and fine length on the balanced if not especially complex finish. Burghound 89-91

80+ year old vines

 Producer note: René's son François, whom I met with on this visit, is now partially in charge (though no one has any illusions about who is still running the domaine). Young Leclerc called 2009 a "very good vintage that was hot, which prevented the conditions that encourage disease and thus the fruit was very clean and ripe. We brought in potential alcohols that ranged between 12 and 13.3%, which is certainly good though not as high as what we realized in 2007. Yields were certainly good though we did not obtain the maximum allowable. Overall, the wines are round, delicious and deeply colored and I believe that they are going to be very popular." As has been the case since 2005, François reiterated that the domaine has eliminated all new wood though there is a proportion of one-year old oak. The '08s were bottled unfined and unfiltered
