Leroy : Bourgogne Rouge 2018

The aromatic expression and finesse of a Burgundy wine by Leroy

The estate

François Leroy, owner of vineyards in Auxey-Duresses and Musigny, among others, founded the Leroy trading house in 1868.

His son Joseph, and some years later his grandson Henri, gradually developed the estate, notably by creating a branch dedicated to the production of liqueurs and eaux-de-vie.

In 1942, Henri Leroy acquired half of the prestigious Romanée-Conti terroir. Following his death, his youngest daughter Lalou Bize-Leroy joined the Leroy estate in 1955 and became co-manager of the Romanée-Conti estate, alongside Aubert de Villaine, between 1974 and 1992.

The vineyard

Chambolle-Musigny, Volnay-Santenots, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romanée, Richebourg, and Clos-Vougeot – the Leroy estate oversees a vineyard stretching across illustrious Burgundy terroirs run exclusively under biodynamics since 1998.

The wine

This Bourgogne Rouge 2018 by Leroy is produced from a 74-are vineyard.
