The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy, almost corpulent entry. It has very fine volume in the mouth, fanning out on the broad dark plum and mulberry infused finish. This is one of the most approachable of Lalou’s 2011s and can just be summed up in the word, delicious. - \u003cspan class=\"hub-single-product-tasting-notes-score\"\u003e91 scores\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eNeal Martin, \u003cspan class=\"hub-single-product-tasting-notes-meta hub-single-product-tasting-notes-meta-expert-date\"\u003eRobert Parker Wine Advocate, \u003c\/span\u003e29 Aug 2013\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinery\u003c\/strong\u003e: Domaine Leroy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal(s)\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\"\u003e750mL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Savigny-les-Beaune \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003ePremier Cru\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e, Côte de \u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003eBeaune\u003c\/span\u003e, Burgundy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\"\u003e2011\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlc\/Vol\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e13%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\"\u003eCork\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\"\u003eWinemaking: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\"\u003eMaking the most careful selection by hand of the grapes when picking, the grapes are brought to the cave in small baskets in refrigerated trucks. The grapes are then carefully sorted on two large sorting tables (not moving conveyor belts) with many eyes watching carefully, to choose only the best and healthiest grapes. Fermentation in large wooden barrel without any de-stemming or crushing to avoid any oxidation and to preserve the precious native yeasts which are present on the skins of the grapes. “Pigeage” (pushing down the cap). “Remontage” consists of moving the fermenting juice from under the cap and bringing it on top of the cap. Slow fermentation and a long maceration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\"\u003eAgeing: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\"\u003eAfter pressing the wine, the wines go down to the first underground cave. Here they stay until the end of their malo-lactic fermentation. After pouring the juice off of the lees, (“soutirage a la sapine”—when no pumps are used only gravity); the wines then go down to the second, deeper and colder cellar.

Under the visionary leadership of Lalou Bize-Leroy, who took over in 1988, the domaine has risen to iconic status, renowned for crafting some of the most intricate, age-worthy, and highly coveted wines in Burgundy. The vineyards benefit from rich limestone soils, a cool climate, and optimal sunlight, which together foster a unique terroir that meticulously nurtures the growth and development of the grapes.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAll of that said by their very nature of being hand-crafted by Lalou herself, now well into her 90s, one can only speculate as to what the future holds in terms of how long she continues to be the driving force at the Domaine and what impact that will have on their future value. I can only presume that crazy as it seems these wines will appreciate in value over time. Value aside, these rare birds continue to be without doubt some of the most beguilingly brilliant, singular wines being produced today by anyone, and from anywhere. Modern Burgundy as we know it would not exist were it not for the creative force that is Lalou-Bize.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\"No words can give the essence or translate what is the reality of every wine, as the identity of each wine is transmitted by its native soil and its vine.  I prefer to leave the discovery of these emotions to each of our guests: in some instances of silence and of concentration, the wines will speak for themselves and reveal their own identities and essential characters; of nourishing earth, living minerals and of the vine: the living \u003cbr\u003eplant.\" - \u003cstrong\u003eLalou Bize-Leroy \u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"col-12 mb-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdd class=\"mb-4 ml-0\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060425736427,"sku":"SK81606718","price":14217.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/1022\/0779\/files\/2011DomaineLeroySavigny-les-Beaune_LesNarbantons_1erCru750ml_086f667c-e331-49fd-8a30-53e5fb46408a.png?v=1763083119","url":"https:\/\/lionscellar.com.au\/products\/2011-domaine-leroy-savigny-les-beaune-les-narbantons-1er-cru-750ml","provider":"Lion's Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
