- Thank you everyone for continuing to support my wine channel and my wine reviews.
Francois Leroy established the wine business in 1850s and founded Maison Leroy in 1868. The Leroy family had a very close relationship with the de Villiane family, who own Domaine Romanee Conti.
In 1942, the Leroy family bought an interest in DRC, which they still own today (they have a 25% interest in DRC today)

Great and extensive review of this beautiful wine! During my last visit to Burgundy last year I’ve really started to appreciate Volnay and Pommard a lot more! I think you are one of the best wine related UA-cam channels right now!
Rick: thank you so much for your kind comments. Pommard to me is a good entry point into Burgundy as the wines have structure and more tannins some other regions. Please like, subscribe and keep watching! Cheers!
Sweet vid 🤙 love to see your channel has grown by hundreds since last I’ve been by!
Appreciate it!
Amazing video You are the man leroy wine are pricey, is the quality difference between bourgogne and village maison leroy big
Dorm mma: I don't have enough experience with Leroy wines to answer this knowledgeably but all I can say is that all Leroy wines I have had in recent memory have been great. I can't recall having a Bourgogne Leroy so I can't answer your questions. Cheers!
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
