DOMAINE LEROY
Domaine Leroy is the creation of one of the most determined, dynamic and passionate Burgundians, Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy. Serving for many years as co-director of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, she created her own Domaine in 1988, with purchases of Richebourg, Chambertin, Romanée-Saint-Vivant as well as another fifty acres of Burgundy's greatest terroirs. She rapidly cultivated her vineyards organically and bio-dynamically. She championed low yields and a ruthless pursuit of the highest quality. American wine lovers were the first to recognize and embrace her wines and the greatest of her bottlings are consistently found in the finest American collections. The wines have saturated, purple-garnet colors in youth, and are striking for the crystal clarity of their expression of Pinot Noir aromas: red fruits mingle with spiciness, clean earth, forest floor, licorice. The purity of youth transforms into tumbling complexity as the wines evolve with bottle age. On the palate, there is structure without excess, dense fruit, purity of expression, subtle management of tannins and extraordinary length of flavor. Although relatively young in age, this Domaine was immediately able to command prices alongside the most legendary of Burgundy's bottlings.
