乐花苑勃艮第干红葡萄酒2007 Maison Leroy Bourgogne 2007

Classic Bourgogne rouge from Leroy. This is lively and bursting with fruit, showing flavors of freshly crushed cherry. Dry smooth tannins display great expression of earth and terroir with subtle cherry fruit. There's also spice notes, and the structure is well-integrated, with fine length. This Pinot is a must have for Old World style enthusiasts. Drink now through 2012.
Wine Spectator：88 point

这是支乐花苑干红是一款经典的勃艮第红葡萄酒，极为灵动，果香四溢，带有清新爽脆的樱桃味。略干而顺滑的单宁，展现了些许泥土味道，还有樱桃的味道隐隐绰绰。同时，她还带有香料的香气，结构扎实，回味悠长，彰显了旧世界的风格。现在就适合饮用，也可长存至2012年。

Maison Leroy was founded in 1868 and has been a negociant operation throughout its history. As a negociant, Maison Leroy purchases grapes, must (unfermented juice), and finished wine (both in barrel and in bottle) to finish (as appropriate) and place the Leroy label on. Leroy wines are ranked highly in the negociant hierarchy with many of the bottlings being very highly sought. This reputation comes from long-standing relationships that the Leroy family has in Burgundy. These relationships allow Maison Leroy to procure choice wines for the label. Bottlings vary from vintage to vintage, based upon what can be acquired at the quality levels required for the Leroy label. In addition to owning Maison Leroy, Lalou Bize-Leroy is proprietor of Domaine Leroy and Domaine D''Auvenay. Both of these Domaines produce wines from wholly-owned vineyards and are distinct from the Maison Leroy portfolio, despite label similarities between Maison and Domaine Leroy.

超过一个世纪以前，Francois Leroy先生于1868年在Auxey-Duresses，勃艮第梅索产区（Meursault）附近的一个小村庄创立了乐花庄园（Domaine Leroy）。直到现在，乐花庄园仍然由 Leroy家族掌管着，在勃艮第乃至全球都享誉盛名。

作为一个酒商，乐花庄园除了酿造自己的葡萄酒外，也会购买精心挑选，外购葡萄（未经发酵的葡萄汁），再用自己的酿造工艺加工，并贴上乐花的酒标。虽然乐花庄园（Domaine Leroy）与乐花苑（Maison Leroy）在酒标和品质上还是有所区别的，乐花苑作为酒商酒销量仍旧极好，在同领域中评价也相当高。这些荣耀源自乐花家族在勃艮第（Burgundy）产区长期以来建立的良好声誉，贴有乐花的酒标的葡萄酒从来都是高品质的同义词。

每年推出的乐花苑葡萄酒，都是由庄主Lalou亲自挑选的，经她精心酿造的葡萄酒带有勃艮第独有的风土特点。相比乐花庄园，它提供给了我们一个更加亲民的价格。如果想要领略乐华庄园的风采，不如从性价比绝高的乐花苑开始。
