TASTING NOTES: The Nuits St.-Georges Les Vignes Rondes is dazzling. Remarkably, the yields for this vineyard were 6 hectoliters per hectare, which is commercial madness. The result is a black/purple-colored, behemoth, crammed with sweet black fruits intermingled with scents of Asian spices, coffee, and licorice. Extremely powerful and dense, with full body, unbelievable concentration and purity, this is a wine making tour de force. It should be at its best in 5-10 years and last for 20+. When I traveled through Burgundy, it appeared Lalou Bize-Leroy may have as many critics as I do. Some producers accuse her of adding "Alicante" to her wines because she obtains such a deep color. Others claim she is hiding hundreds of cases of grand crus in another cellar since her yields cannot "possibly be so low." Of course all of this is nonsense, not to mention appallingly jealous behavior from producers who are scared to death that other growers might decide to follow in Lalou's footsteps. For now, Bize-Leroy stands at the top of the Burgundy pyramid, alone both literally and figuratively in her pursuit of the finest Burgundy can produce. I will keep my tasting notes brief, recognizing that in this situation it is almost criminal to try and describe wines that may be the greatest red Burgundies I will taste in my life. As even the immodest Lalou Bize-Leroy says, these wines are "an accident of nature." Tasting them, with their extraordinary ripeness, unctuosity, and opulence, with no hard tannin to be found, makes one think that 1993 was a completely different vintage for Domaine Leroy than it was for other Burgundians. Yes, Mama, low yields do translate into physiologically ripe fruit, concentrated wines, and exquisite quality. It goes without saying that everything in this cellar was aged in 100% new French oak (you cannot detect any oak in the wines because of their concentration), and bottled without fining or filtration - as usual.

Domaine Leroy

About Domaine Leroy

Domaine Leroy, founded by the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy, stands as an iconic winery in the heart of Burgundy, France. Lalou Bize-Leroy's stewardship began in the 1980s, transforming the estate into a paragon of excellence in Burgundian winemaking. This domaine holds prestigious vineyards across various Burgundian appellations, including coveted Grand Cru and Premier Cru sites in Vosne-Romanée, Gevrey-Chambertin, Meursault, and others.

At the core of Domaine Leroy's philosophy is Lalou Bize-Leroy's unwavering commitment to biodynamic farming practices. The vineyards are cultivated organically and biodynamically, emphasizing a holistic approach that considers the entire ecosystem. The result is a vineyard management strategy that prioritizes sustainability and respects the unique terroirs.

The estate is renowned for its low yields, achieved through meticulous grape selection and biodynamic viticulture. This focus on restricted yields contributes to the concentration and depth of flavors found in Domaine Leroy wines.

In the cellar, Lalou Bize-Leroy employs a minimalist approach to winemaking. Fermentation occurs with native yeasts, and the use of new oak is judiciously limited. The overarching goal is to allow the wines to authentically express the distinct characteristics of each vineyard.

Domaine Leroy's wines are widely sought after by collectors and connoisseurs. Known for their purity, elegance, and remarkable aging potential, flagship wines such as Leroy Richebourg, Leroy Romanée-Saint-Vivant, and Leroy Corton-Charlemagne are considered benchmarks of Burgundian excellence.

Due to its commitment to quality and limited production, Domaine Leroy wines are often allocated in small quantities, contributing to their exclusivity and high market value. The estate's legacy is firmly established as a beacon of Burgundian winemaking, embodying the intersection of tradition, terroir, and uncompromising dedication to producing some of the finest wines in the world.
