Description

Domaine Leroy produces some of the most exclusive and highly sought-after wines in Burgundy. The estate was originally formed in 1988 when Lalou Bize-Leroy acquired Charles Noëllat’s property in Vosne-Romanée. After continuous and strategic expansion, Domaine Leroy today comprises approximately 23 hectares, including impressive vineyard holdings in nine Grands Crus and eight Premier Crus. This particular release comes from the premier cru Les Beaux Monts, which is located north of Richebourg and Aux Brûlées. This is the largest holding owned by Lalou Bize-Leroy with 2.61 hectares of vines. The 1999 vintage in Burgundy was exceptional for Pinot Noir, offering deep colours and rich, ripe black fruit of a unique purity.
