Domaine Leroy, Nuits Saint Georges Lavieres other_regions_italy even succulent yet beautifully focusedA completely different expression with even better finesse and pronounced minerality to accompany a very expressive black fruit nose, earth inflected flavors and outstanding length. The tannins are very fine and while there is good Nuits character, there is no rusticity at all.
