DOMAINE LEROY
Domaine Leroy is regarded by many as one of the finest producers in Burgundy. Michel Bettane wrote in Vins de France that “Domaine Leroy is a welcome reminder of the difference between the very good and the great”. And Robert M. Parker stated that “Lalou Bize-Leroy stands alone a the top of Burgundy’s quality hierarchy. Because she is a perfectionist, and because she has had the courage to produce wines from low yields and bottle them naturally, without fining or filtration”. Domaine Leroy has adhered to the principles of biodynamic viticulture since 1989. They do not use any weed killers, pesticides, fungicides, insecticides or artificial fertilisers in their 23 hectares of vineyards. Incredibly low yields produce wines that are superbly concentrated and highly sought after. Domaine Leroy produce nine Grand Cru wines; Corton-Renardes, Richebourg, Romanee-Saint-Vivant, Clos de Vougeot, Musigny, Clos de la Roche, Latricieres-Chambertin, Chambertin and Corton-Charlemagne ; as well as eight Premier Cru wines such as Vosne-Romanee Les Beaux-Monts and Gevrey-Chambertin Les Combottes, and a further selection of fine red wines such as Pommard and Nuits-Saint-Georges from other Burgundy terroirs.
