Legou’s recently-arrived ‘20s are terrific successes provided you’re open to the large-scaled pleasures of the vintage. Yet size aside, Legou's are considerably lighter in color and more perfumed than the vintage mean. At a recent tasting this Ladoix villages showed an alertness of red fruit and floral intensity hardly routine even among examples tripling (or more) its modest price.
Along with Priuré-Roch’s Ladoix, Legou’s is for me the appellation standard-setter. Part of this must be that the wine's bright fruit makes a particularly willing vehicle for hi-toned cluster expression. Even the Vosne-Romanée presents its stems in a darker and more somber mode this year.
Real-deal Burg at this price point is tough to find, many 'pleasant’ options notwithstanding. How many sub-$50 examples possess such aromatic range, impress such obvious structural sophistication?
