Domaine Laleure-Piot 2007 Corton-Rognet Pinot Noir (Corton)

Cellar Selection

Price $145

A firm, tightly balanced wine, the intense fruit fitting into a dry, solidly tannic framework. It is ripe, certainly, with a sweet, juicy character, but the dense structure is as important, a core of steely resolve to go with the delicious fruit and acidity. Demands 5–10 years and more aging. — R.V. (10/1/2009)

Domaine Laleure-Piot 2007 Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)

Price $178

You can feel the wood, rather than tasting it, such is the delicious fruit character: layers of ripe white fruits, shot through with citrus, white figs and crisp nectarine. The wine is edging towards youthful austerity but the fruit gives it great life and freshness. Imported by Robert Kacher Imports. — R.V. (10/1/2009)

Domaine Laleure-Piot 2007 Pinot Noir (Corton-Bressandes)

Cellar Selection

Price $155

There is a tightness to this wine, initially softened by ripe fruit, then coming through in the form of dark tannins, a stony terroir-driven layer of dryness, firmness and a potentially powerful structure. There’s no question, this needs to age—five years or more. — R.V. (10/1/2009)

Domaine Laleure-Piot 2007 Premier Cru Chardonnay (Pernand-Vergelesses)

Online Exclusive

Price $71

A blend of small parcels of premier cru vineyards, this is a wine that offers richness, toast and a fine core of citrus and yellow berry flavors. The finish on this finely crafted wine is a structured, green fruit skin flourish. Imported by Robert Kacher Imports. — R.V. (10/1/2009)

Domaine Laleure-Piot 2007 Les Vergelesses Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Pernand-Vergelesses)

Price $71

A warm and rich wine, hinting at sweet jelly, but at the same time offering a tight, firm structure of dry tannins. The wine is dense and concentrated, flavored with black cherry, fig, red plum juice, the final fresh acidity a delicious lift. — R.V. (10/1/2009)

points

Domaine Laleure-Piot 2007 Pinot Noir (Pernand-Vergelesses)

Price $54

While it is already very accessible, this finely structured wine also has a core of tannin under the ripe, lightly earthy berry fruits. There is an over-arching juiciness that comes from the red fruit flavors, but this sweetness is easily balanced by the acidity. Drink or keep. — R.V. (10/1/2009)

points

Domaine Laleure-Piot 2007 Les Vergelesses Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Savigny-lès-Beaune)

From its bright purple color, this is obviously a young wine. It has all the tannins and suppressed juiciness of youth, a dry core over the freshest red plum flavors. The wine is worth aging for 2–3 years, as its terroir-driven structure softens. — R.V. (10/1/2009)

points

Domaine Laleure-Piot 2007 Ile des Vergelesses Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Pernand-Vergelesses)

Price $99

A rich layer of ripe red plums characterizes this wine immediately. The fruit is spiced with wood, but dominated by fresh acidity, followed by tight tannins and a youthful brightness. Give it 2–3 years. — R.V. (10/1/2009)
