- Description
Domaine Leroy is a legendary and prestigious wine producer located in the Burgundy region of France. The estate’s origins can be traced back to Maison Leroy, a négociant (wine merchant) founded by François Leroy in the late 19th century. The estate was founded in 1988 by Lalou Bize-Leroy, although its historical roots date back to the late 19th century. Lalou Bize-Leroy is an iconic figure in the world of Burgundy wine and is known for her uncompromising dedication to producing some of the finest and most sought-after wines in the region. Lalou Bize-Leroy, as Lalou is nicknamed, took over the estate and transformed it into a highly respected estate producing both red and white Burgundy wines. Domaine Leroy is known for its commitment to biodynamic farming practices. Lalou Bize-Leroy is a pioneer in biodynamics and is known for her meticulous attention to every detail of the winemaking process, from vineyard to bottle. The estate has a small vineyard, resulting in a limited production of its wines. This exclusivity and scarcity contribute to the high demand and high prices of Domaine Leroy wines. Some of their most famous and highly regarded wines include 'Romanée-Saint-Vivant', 'Nuits-St-Georges' and 'Chambertin'. Due to their limited production and exceptional quality, Leroy wines are among the most expensive and rare in the world. It is important to note that Domaine Leroy is often mentioned in the same breath as other legendary Burgundian producers such as Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) and Domaine Armand Rousseau. Domaine Leroy's wines are highly regarded for their complexity, finesse and aging potential, making them a reference point for Burgundy enthusiasts and collectors. The 2000 Leroy Bourgogne "En Hommage à l'An 2000" is a special Pinot Noir created by Maison Leroy to celebrate the millennium. Originally released in 2004, this wine is composed of a blend of Bourgogne Rouge cuvées and selected village crus from the 1990s, the majority of which come from the 1999 harvest. It features a golden capsule and individually numbered bottles, making it both collectible and unique. Tasting notes highlight a complex bouquet of fresh red berries, complemented by earthy, savoury undertones such as forest floor and dried cigar leaf. The palate offers a broad spectrum of flavours including candied red berries, dried leather and subtle animalic notes, all wrapped up in an elegant, vibrant finish.
