Volnay 1er Cru Champans Leroy SA 1999

The wine

The ruby colour with its delicate garnet hints accompanies a floral (violet) and fruity (gooseberry and cherry) nose, which develops into spiced and candied aromas in time. Its attack is lively and fresh. It explodes in the mouth with crisp fruit flavours. At its best in five years’ time.

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.
