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.

The Aligoté from Domaine Leroy is an exceptional white wine, sourced from a meticulously maintained 2-hectare parcel of Chardonnay. This wine offers a unique and refined aromatic complexity. From the first sip, it reveals an enchanting array of flavours including hazelnut and almond notes that blend harmoniously with floral aromas of hawthorn. Fruity notes of lemon and peach complete the bouquet, offering a rich and varied sensory experience.
The palate is characterised by its freshness and liveliness. The superb acidity makes this Aligoté a particularly vibrant wine, surpassing others produced in Burgundy in intensity. This balanced acidity also contributes to its exceptional ageing potential, allowing the wine to evolve and improve over the next ten years or more when stored under optimal conditions.
The secret to this quality lies in the viticulture approach practised at Domaine Leroy. Environmentally friendly, it favours extremely low yields, guaranteeing optimum flavour concentration in each cluster.
