Soaring from the glass with exquisite aromas of rose petals, violets, cassis, raspberries and exotic nuances of clove and cinnamon, Leroy's 2015 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fremières is full-bodied, velvety and mutlitmiensional, with incredible energy and concentration, concluding with a long and resonant finish. This is a brilliant wine that entirely confirms the fine impression it made when I last tasted it in spring 2018.
