Detailed Description

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: I have had mixed experiences with this wine but the most recent bottle was absolutely exquisite with a stunning nose of remarkable complexity with every spice imaginable and this is aromatically utterly seductive and is followed by sexy, round, intense, precise flavors of suberp complexity if perhaps a bit less density than the very best of the Leroy ’91s.

• Vinous: The 1991 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is a spellbinding achievement from Lalou Bize-Leroy. Hitherto I had only tasted it once before, when I described it as a ‘Pandora’s box,’ and that description is apt here. The crystalline, harmonious bouquet, featuring intense black and red fruit, damp undergrowth and shucked oyster shells, is one of the most complex and compelling that I have ever encountered from the domaine. The palate displays astonishing balance, so fresh and brimming with vim and vigor that you cannot believe it is already some 26 years old.

Producer Information

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. The domaine was founded by Francois Leroy, a wine merchant based in Auxey-Duresses, in 1868. It was expanded under his son Joseph and grandson Henri throughout the early 1900s, and in 1942, Henri Leroy was involved with the purchase of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti alongside Edmond Gaudin de Villaine. Leroy and Villaine saw massive potential in the plots and vines DRC already held and, rather than see the domaine split up among various proprietors, decided to buy it together. In 1974, Henri’s daughter Lalou Leroy took over this co-management of DRC alongside Aubert de Villaine; she had also inherited Maison Leroy from her father after his death in 1980. Leroy left Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in 1991 following a dispute with Villaine, and began to focus on her own domaine.
