PRODUCER
The latest release of the Maison Leroy wines caused a stir at Waters Wine as we had never had the opportunity to taste a Leroy wine before. A legend in the wine world, Lalou Bize-Leroy was until 1992 a co director of the Domaine de la Romanee Conti. After leaving DRC she focused her efforts on the family business, which now occupies 21 hectares of some of the greatest vineyard sites in the world.
The estate is run with obsessive attention to detail. Biodynamic, low yields, only the ripest grapes are hand harvested and a further strict fruit selection applied. The grapes are fermented in large format oak, without destemming or crushing. Regular pushing down of the cap and moving the fermenting juice from under the cap to the top ensures the wines are incredibly fresh, detailed, coloured and powerful. Lalou Bize-Leroy is an incomparable winemaker and her wines are the most concentrated, dense, thrilling wines that Burgundy has to offer.
