The score for 1991 Domaine Leroy Vosne Romanee Les Genaivrieres is 91 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Leroy's estate on the back streets of Vosne-Romanee is called Les Genevrieres after a parcel of very old vines that is not entitled to premier cru status. She makes the finest Vosne-Romanee, a wine that is better than most producers' grand crus. The 1991 Vosne-Romanee-Les Genevrieres displays a wonderfully pure, vivid, vibrant, black fruit-scented nose, ripe, generous, sweet, medium to full-bodied flavors, superb length, and a fleshy, velvety-textured finish. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. Once again, the remarkable Lalou Bize-Leroy and her gifted winemaker, Andre Porcheret, have made the wines of the vintage. Of course, Ponsot's Chambertin, Clos St.-Denis, and Clos de la Roche offer worthy competition, but considering the numerous vineyards she possesses, and the remarkable success she has enjoyed with all of them, she gets the gold medal in 1991. These are spectacularly rich, concentrated, compelling red burgundies that are significantly less expensive than her magnificent 1990s, yet very close in quality to those wines. And the 1990s were among the finest Pinot Noirs I have ever tasted. Lalou, with her characteristic bravado, compares 1991 to 1959. Her average yields were under 15 hectoliters per hectare, ranging from a low of 9 hectoliters per hectare to the highest, 18 hectoliters per hectare. Translated into production per vine, keeping in mind that Burgundy's vineyards have from 8,000-10,000 vines per hectare compared to about 1,200 vines per hectare in California and Oregon, this is astonishingly low yields. Because of the minuscule quantities produced and their high prices, the saddest thing about the Domaine Leroy's red burgundies is that few people have a chance to taste them. To taste the wines of Leroy is to know what heights Pinot Noir can attain. After tasting the 1991s from barrel last year, I thought she had fashioned the top wines of the vintage. Now that they are in the bottle, they are even more impressive. Prices are significantly lower (down by %25-%30), but quantities are tiny. Produced according to the rigid disciplines of organic farming biodynamics, Lalou Bize-Leroy's 1991s are extraordinary.
