At Domaine LEROY, we have been cultivating our vines under biodynamic
conditions since 1989.
This means that our wines are free of all chemical treatments, weed killers, pesticides,
fungicides, insecticides and artificial fertilizers. Instead, we have stepped back in time
and use cosmic rhythms to ensure correct soil tilling and recuperation as well as
effective vine care through all phases of the year's cycle. |

"In her wines,
Lalou seeks a magnified delineation of flavors. Each wine offers a kaleidoscope of
sensation, each of which is distinct from the other with no blurring or muddiness. Because
of this, it is virtually impossible to mistake one vineyard for another in a Domaine Leroy
wine. Lalou seeks a degree of purity, allied to extraordinary concentration, that is
almost unmatched by any other producer". |

"I have said it
so many times that it may be rebundant, but for readers who by-passed purchasing my
heavyweight 1990 tome, Burgundy, let me repeat it - Lalou Bize-Leroy stands alone at the
top of Burgundy's quality hierarchy. Because she is a perfectionnist, and because she has
had the courage to produce wines from low yield and bottle them naturelly, without fining
or filtration". |

"This is the
greatest estate in Burgundy...
How do you determine great? Is it size? Is it quality? Is it price? Is it
"reputation" (what ever that is)? Is it the amount of media coverage?
However you do compute it, the greatest domaines of Burgundy today must be those under the
control of Lalou Bize : The Domaine Leroy and her own Domaine d'Auvenay. The estates of
Jadot, Faiveley and Bouchard Père & Fils are far larger, that of Romanée-Conti the
most splendid in terms of percentage of grand terroir, but for nobility of it's wines,
pride of place must go to Leroy and to the Domaine d'Auvenay. The sheer concentration,
depth and intensity Lalou Bize manages to squeeze into her bottles is brethtaking". |
