Leroy Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St. Jacques 1972
"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".
(Matt KRAMER, Los Angeles Times)
"Taste Leroy wines is a memorable occasion".
(Michael Broadbent)
"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".
(Robert M. Parker, Jr.)
"Leroy wines are the best of the best".
(Robert Finigan, Private Guide to Wine)
"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".
