Nuits St Georges Aux Lavieres Domaine Leroy 1996

Originally established in 1868, Domaine Leroy is a prestigious Burgundy producer led by the dynamic Lalou Bize-Leroy. The estate is known for its biodynamic viticulture practices and extremely low yields that contribute to the concentration and complexity of its wines. This particular cuvée comes from a small 0.69-hectare plot of vines in the climat of Aux Lavrières. The 1996 vintage in Burgundy was considered quite good, with a cool and wet spring followed by a warm and sunny summer. The weather conditions led to a late harvest, but the grapes achieved optimal ripeness and balance.
