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 Volnay vineyard is an iconic terroir in the Côte de Beaune, with 29 Premier Cru climats, each more exceptional than the last. The Pinot Noir vines, planted at altitudes of between 230 and 280 metres, are particularly sought-after for their high quality, owed to the varied limestone soils and environmentally friendly viticulture practised in the region. Harvests are followed by traditional, low-intervention vinification methods. The fruit undergo cold maceration for several days in whole clusters. The wine is aged for several months in oak casks and bottled unfiltered.
The rich ruby-red colour is complemented by a spellbinding nose displaying notes of very ripe black fruit combined with subtle spicy notes. On the palate, aromas of black fruit mingle beautifully with hints of spice, complemented by elegant tannins, leading to a persistent, concentrated finish.
