Domaine Leroy is a vineyard estate which produces red Burgundy. The winery is located in the wine producing village of Auxey-Duresses. The winery is split between negociant label Maison Leroy and wines of their own vineyards called Domaine Leroy.
The domaine has always produced biodynamic wine, and is certified by ECOCERT.[1] Lalou Bize-Leroy of Domaine Leroy also owns a quarter of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.[1] The domaine has 23 hectares of vines, mostly Premier Cru and Grand Cru classified.[1] Lalou Bize-Leroy became the managing director of the winery in 1971.[2] As a wine producer, Domaine Leroy is regarded as one of the most sought after, rare and expensive wines in Burgundy's Côte d'Or and the world. For example, a recent vintage bottlings of Leroy's Musigny Grand Cru red wine made from pinot noir exceed tens of thousands of dollars per bottle.[3]
