Background

In 1988, Lalou Bize-Leroy purchased Domaine Charles Noëllat, creating Domaine Leroy. She pushed biodynamic agriculture to its extreme, limiting yields to 15–20 hl/ha, far below legal limits. This ultra-low yield and her pursuit of purity in winemaking have created Pinot Noirs considered among the finest in the world.
