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.

This Volnay 1er Cru is a refined red wine crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes. It displays a rich, radiant colour with seductive ruby-red hues. Remarkably complex on the nose, this wine combines intense notes of ripe red fruit, such as cherry and raspberry, with hints of undergrowth, truffle and violet, and a subtle touch of spice and smoke.
On the palate, the attack is subtle and elegant, combined by a beautiful freshness. The mid-palate displays a harmonious structure, with fine, well-integrated tannins. Red fruit flavours intertwine with sweet spices and earthy notes, creating a rich, balanced taste experience. The finish is long and persistent, distinguished by a light minerality and lasting aromas of red fruit and undergrowth.
This wine pairs perfectly with refined dishes such as roasted duck, fillet mignon with mushrooms and matured cheeses like Comté. This is an elegant and complex wine offering exceptional ageing potential and perfect for special occasions.
