The history of Maison Leroy began in 1968 when François Leroy, winemaker and owner of vineyards in Pommard, Meursault, Chambertin, Musigny, Clos de Vougeot and Richebourg, decided to create a structure with the aim of expanding.
During the second part of the twentieth century, his son's efforts were rewarded with various medals and Grands Prix in both France and Belgium. However, it was not until the arrival of Henri Leroy in 1919, the third generation, that things really changed. Highly invested in the business, he led it to a meteoric rise.
A few years later, in 1942, Maison Leroy became the owner of half the shares in Romanée-Conti's Domaine. Henry would devote the rest of his life to the estate, giving his all to create the jewel we know today.
Lalou Bize-Leroy, Henri's daughter and a grande dame of the Burgundy wine world, joined the adventure in 1955. She quickly followed in her father's footsteps, becoming President and General Manager of Maison Leroy as well as co-manager of Romanée-Conti Domaine. An unrivalled taster and connoisseur of the terroirs of Bourgogne, she will always strive for the best. This quest for perfection led her in 1988 to buy several Domaines and cultivate them biodynamically, making her a pioneer in the field.
Topping out at 21 hectares 99 ares 66 centiares, Domaine Leroy today boasts 9 Grands Crus, 8 Premiers Crus, 9 Villages and a few generic Bourgognes. With its racy terroirs, it offers us each vintage confidential cuvées of incredible richness.
Every wine produced by Maison Leroy is a gustatory event, and this Pommard isn't an exception. Part of the appellation has Climats classified as Premier Cru, and it is from these that the grapes for this wine originate. As far back as the Middle Ages, Pommard was considered "the flower of Beaunois wines", the benchmark wine. Lalou Bize-Leroy's deft touch and uncompromising viticulture make it an absolute benchmark.
The weather conditions during the grape ripening phase were ideal, making 2009 a vintage of excellence in Bourgogne.
Bearing a beautiful dark ruby color, the nose exudes aromas of blackberry, blueberry and plum. Subtle hints of pepper and leather complete the picture, a sensory work of art.
The palate is concentrated, with well-presented but melted tannins that coat the palate masterfully. The aromas unfold gradually, we find all the fruit we perceived on the nose, aromatic sub-layers that reach us in successive waves. Straight and long, an absolute reference... A Pommard Premier Cru of great depth that will go well with a pavé de boeuf or entrecôte au vin.
