Description

Comprised of approximately 22 hectares, Domaine Leroy was formed in 1988 through the acquisition of the estates of Charles Noellat at Vosne-Romanée and of Philippe-Rémy at Gevrey-Chambertin. The domaine is owned by one of the most influential women in the French wine industry, Lalou Bize-Leroy – who also manages Maison Leroy and Domaine d`Auvenay. This release is the estate’s 1994 Clos de Vougeot, a modest vintage but grand cru wines triumphed.
