Information
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.
Whilst this cuvée is produced using grapes purchased by Maison Leroy’s négociant, it is nevertheless very well-made. The Chardonnay used is grown biodynamically and the vinification process is equally as attentive. And the result takes nothing from the estate’s reputation. This Puligny-Montrachet expresses aromas of white flowers, honey, and exotic fruits. Its palate is rich, carrying a remarkable acidity.
