Maison Leroy

Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy is a Burgundian legend who needs no introduction. With her family’s 50% ownership in Domaine Romanée-Conti, she has access to the best of the best in the Côte d’Or.
With a wine family lineage that stretches back to 1868, Lalou has earned her rightful place in the pantheon of wine greats.
Her uncompromising standards make Maison Leroy a négociant house par excellence.
Wines are always aged and finished by Lalou, then released to the market only when they are ready.
These wines are the purest expressions of Burgundy, and proof of the second-to-none quality of the Leroy name.

Gamay (Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc in full) is a grape variety that is most famous for producing the light, fruit-driven red wines of Beaujolais. While the variety offers fresh, red-fruit and candied aromas, it typically delivers little in the way of flavor concentration and body weight, giving light, simple wines. That said, some well-made examples can be deep and complex. Just north of Beaujolais, Gamay is also widely grown in the Maconnais, and most Macon Rouge is based on the grape.

Domaine Leroy is a negociant/wine producer based in the Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy. It makes a range of wines from Pinot Noir that comes from some of the most iconic vineyards in the world, including Le Chambertin, Musigny, Clos de Vougeot and Romanée-Saint-Vivant, and is second only to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in terms of price and quality. Those wines made from estate grown fruit are sold under the Domaine Leroy label.
