The Winery

Domaine Leroy

Wine is inspired from the cosmos, it tastes of the world itself... Once one knows how to taste wine, one no longer simply tastes wine but its profound secrets.
- Lalou Bize-Leroy

The wines of Domaine Leroy are among the most elegant, collectable, and rare wines in the Cote d’Or and entire world. Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy is the driving force behind the Leroy empire. She inherited the successful, terroir expressive winery in 1971 from her father, and has developed a reputation as the first important female leader in Burgundy. The intense quality focused crops only yield a quarter of the fruit compared to other vineyards in Burgundy. The wines are not exposed to the fining, filtering or filtration process, further accentuating their relentless pursuit of perfection. The philosophy and practices of biodynamic have been fully implemented since 1989. Domaine Leroy is argued to make one of the finest and brilliantly elegant red Burgundies available.

Tasting Notes

BH96
A reticent, even shy but highly complex nose is cool to the point of being almost cold (if aromas can be legitimately characterized in such a fashion). It features intensely floral aromas of pure wild red berry fruit, wet stone, soft spices and a whiff of the sauvage. This is a big and powerful yet entirely elegant wine which makes for an interesting contrast with the silky palate impression of the energetic and muscular flavors that are supported by very firm but ripe tannins on the penetratingly mineral-driven finish that is quite saline in character. This impressively concentrated effort should age brilliantly well for years to come, though once again, note that ample bottle age will be required. Latricières just doesn`t get much better than this.
