    Information
    About the producer

    The legendary Leroy house in Auxey-Duresses was created by François Leroy in 1868. At the beginning of the following century, Henri Leroy contributed greatly to making these wines famous, and his daughter, Lalou Bize-Leroy, took over in 1971. Moreover, this icon of Burgundy made itself renowned by buying the Domaine Charles Noëllat to create its own domain. The Leroy family is also co-owner of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti with the Villaine family. The wines of the Leroy house have an exemplary quality. No doubt this is the greatest Burgundy wine. The grapes are meticulously selected; they must come from at least responsibly cultivated vines. The winemaking and maturing are carried out with as much care as in the domain that produces exceptional wines.

    About the wine

    There’s no need to introduce Lalou Bize-Leroy, an icon of Burgundy wine making and a pioneer of biodynamics. In her talented hands, this particularly reputed Meursault premier cru is sublime, here offered in a complex and striking tone. The wine blends the elegance and freshness of its grape variety with a supple texture obtained during maturation. This is a beautiful wine that will reward a bit of ageing and will accompany gastronomic dishes.
