    The wine

    Située en Saône et Loire, l’appellation Maranges fait pourtant partie de la Côte de Beaune dont elle constitue la pointe sud. Son nom viendrait de « murgers », ces petits murs de pierre sèche qui entourent les parcelles de vignes. Les pinots noirs s’y épanouissent sur des sols de marnes calcaires et sont orientés vers le sud-est. Lalou Bize-Leroy, grande dame de la Bourgogne, en propose ici une version très puissante, aux accents de Pommard. Doté d’une couleur rubis profonde, ce maranges révèle un nez fumé, qui met en valeur des notes de rose poudrée et de fraise écrasée, qui, elles, évoluent vers une touche plus terreuse qui rappelle le sous-bois. La bouche riche, bien structurée par des tanins souples conserve une belle fraîcheur. Un très bel exemple du style Leroy, qui cherche à mettre en valeur les infimes variations du terroir bourguignon.
    Taillée pour la garde, cette cuvée sublimera une autre spécialité bourguignonne, les œufs en meurette.

    Information about domain Leroy SA

    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.
