Sell 1997 Wine

Among the prestigious estates of Burgundy, Domaine Leroy, managed by the "Iron Lady" Lalou Bize-Leroy, is undoubtedly one of the most dazzling classics. This Domaine Leroy Volnay 1er Cru Santenots Du Milieu 1997 not only perfectly embodies the aging potential of a fine 90s Burgundy but is also a coveted treasure among seasoned collectors and in the fine wine auction market.

1. Unique Terroir: "Santenots Du Milieu," a Premier Cru spanning villages

Santenots Du Milieu holds a very special AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) status. Although geographically located within the village of Meursault, renowned for its white wines, its soil is rich in hard limestone and clay, making it extremely suitable for growing Pinot Noir. Therefore, according to French appellation laws, red wines produced here are labeled with the name of the neighboring village's Volnay Premier Cru.

Since 1988, Domaine Leroy has strictly adhered to Biodynamic practices, employing extremely low yield control and uncompromising grape selection. This has allowed the 1997 Santenots Du Milieu to exhibit the characteristic elegance of Volnay and the profound structure bestowed by the Meursault soil.
