The wines of Lalou Bize-Leroy often require little introduction as they have, for many years now, been widely regarded as some of the greatest produced in Burgundy. However, this is a new release from the négociant arm of Maison Leroy. The Bourgogne Gamay AOC was only introduced in 2011 and stipulates that wines must be made from a minimum of 30% Gamay and may be sourced from 9 of the 10 Beaujolais Crus. 2019 in Beaujolais was hot and dry, producing wines of excellent ripeness and concentration, yet seamless balance and freshness.

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.
