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 exceptionally fine wine is mainly made from Pinot Noir grapes. It is characterised by a deep ruby-red colour with garnet hues and slow, abundant tearing, revealing great concentration.
nose is intensely aromatic, with notes of fresh red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, complemented by aromas of undergrowth, mushrooms and truffles. Aromas of vanilla, liquorice and leather develop as a result of its oak ageing.
On the palate, the attack is supple and fruity, combined by a beautiful freshness. Flavours of plum, sweet spices and dark chocolate enrich the palate. The fine, well-integrated tannins provide an elegant structure, while the balanced acidity adds liveliness. The finish is long and persistent, marked by notes of ripe fruit and a spicy woodiness.
This wine is a perfect match for duck breast, roast veal with mushrooms, or mature cheeses. It can be savoured young or aged to increase its complexity.
