Lalou Bize-Leroy was born into wine, her family's negociant business long one of the greatest sources of Burgundy dating back to the mid-19th century. She joined her father in 1955 and became president in 1971, pushing the quality of the wines even further into greatness.

Maison Leroy

Starting in 1868, François Leroy began his negociant house in Auxey-Duresses, though it was a century later that Lalou would join and bring the quality and fame into a new echelon. With the family's purchase of half the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti in 1942, the Leroy family gained further access to some of the greatest vineyards in all of Burgundy.

Through the Maison Leroy, Lalou will guide the hand of several vignerons from essentially every appellation in Burgundy, and capture some of the greatest grapes and wines from these vignerons each vintage. She will often control the entire elevage from her selected vineyards, and hold the wines back until they are absolutely ready to drink, often releasing wines a decade-plus after the stated vintage. There are no limits to the quality control with any wine bearing the name Leroy.

Tasted at the 60th anniversary tasting at Domaine d’Auvenay. The 1955 Richebourg Grand Cru is cut from a totally different cloth to the Romanée-Saint-Vivant. This is incredibly youthful, quite rich in the mouth with crushed strawberry and hints of kirsch, cola and a touch of molasses. It is quite compelling. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, harmonious and silky in the mouth with fine acidity and wonderful tension toward the finish that crescendos in the mouth. Majestic.
