The Vosne Romanee 2004 from Leroy is not your everyday Vosne Village. This village wine comes from the Vosne vineyards Romanee Saint Vivant, Richebourg, Les Beaux Monts, Aux Brulees and Genevrieres. The result is a very good wine for the vintage. In the nose it's oozing with Vosne spicyness, red …

The bouquet is almost an explosion of very pure and ripe pinot aromas - strawberries with a hint of black cherries and raspberries. On the palate it ads …
