Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru Leroy SA 2007

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.

Mazoyères-Chambertin is another denomination of the appellation Grand Cru Charmes-Chambertin located in Gevrey-Chambertin. Maison Leroy uses the latter more often. Mazoyères is a complete wine with an intense garnet colour. On the nose it evokes cherry and fine spices when young to later evolve into leather and sous-bois. It is intense and always refined on the palate.
