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

WA96–98
The 2014 Richebourg Grand Cru is more backward than the Romanée-Saint-Vivant at the moment (the opposite to Hudelot-Noëllat the previous day when it was the other way round). Here, there is a very subtle marine/seaweed influence that tinctures that dark berry fruit. The palate is defined by its very fine tannin, the focus and tension interwoven through every atom of this Richebourg; the finish is surfeit with nervosité and tension so that is slips down the throat (guilty!) with so much ease. Wonderful -- one of the wines of the vintage.
