Pommard Les Vignots Leroy SA 1961

The wine

The Pommard Les Vignots from Domaine Leroy is a renowned Burgundy wine acclaimed for its richness and complexity. Domaine Leroy, managed by Lalou Bize-Leroy, has gained its reputation through its biodynamic approach and meticulous attention to detail. This wine embodies the power and structure of Pommard wines while offering a finesse and elegance unique to this exceptional estate.
On the nose, it reveals aromas of fresh red fruits such as cherry, raspberry, and strawberry. More complex notes of undergrowth, sweet spices, and a hint of vanilla from oak ageing emerge as it opens.
On the palate, the attack is vibrant and fruity, marked by a beautiful acidity. This wine is structured with fine, well-integrated tannins. Flavours of red and black fruits (cherry, blackberry) intertwine with hints of liquorice and leather. The finish is long and elegant, delivering persistent fruity and spicy aromas.

About the Producer Leroy SA

The legendary Leroy house in Auxey-Duresses was created by François Leroy in 1868. At the beginning of the following century, Henri Leroy contributed greatly to making these wines famous, and his daughter, Lalou Bize-Leroy, took over in 1971. Moreover, this icon of Burgundy made itself renowned by buying the Domaine Charles Noëllat to create its own domain. The Leroy family is also co-owner of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti with the Villaine family. The wines of the Leroy house have an exemplary quality. No doubt this is the greatest Burgundy wine. The grapes are meticulously selected; they must come from at least responsibly cultivated vines. The winemaking and maturing are carried out with as much care as in the domain that produces exceptional wines.
