Madame Lalou-bize Leroy is the producer of Domaine and Maison Leroy and has been the top figure in Burgundy for many, many years. She has been producing wines from almost every appellation in Cote d'Or, making her one of the most experienced winemakers in the region. Wine Critics have not been shy to confirm her status in the region - Robert Parker said she “stands virtually alone at the top of Burgundy’s quality hierarchy”, while Clive Coates MW commented that Leroy is "the greatest estate in Burgundy".    Under Madame Lalou-bize Leroy's perfectionist approach to the vineyard as well as the estate, there is no doubt that remarkable quality of the...

Established in 1857 by Alexandre-Louis Pommery who unfortunately passed away just a year after establishment, the Champagne house was left to his widow, Louise, and which she managed to lead it to the success and glory we know of nowadays.

Having grown up in Alsace with a passion for wine and photography, Vincent Dancer was originally studying to become an engineer, but after spending some time in Burgundy, he decided to settle in Chassagne-Montrachet and make wine from his family-owned vineyards.

Despite being rather low-key, Vincent's wines have become well known to restaurateurs and wine-lovers in the region over the years, known to truly reflect...

Henri Germain is considered to be a benchmark white wine producer and is widely appreciated by Burgundians as well as other Burgundy producers as its wines are unique in style and offer great quality. Their wines attract great demand from wine collectors from all over the world and are some of the rarest wines in trade nowadays. Even legendary Burgundy producer Bruno Clair who does not offer praise easily had praised the high standard of viticulture practised by Henri Germain's winemaker, Jean-Francois Germain.    The winemaking methods are very traditional, use organic farming, low yields and maintain minimum influence in the cellar. The wines are hardly...

Originally owned by the Jaboulet-Vercherre family and marketed by Louis Jadot, Domaine de la Commaraine is one of the most aristocratic single estates of Burgundy since the 12th century when it was founded. It is now owned by Harvard Professor, Denise Dupré, and Mark Nunelly, former Managing Director of a Boston Capital investment fund, since 2017, who aims to revive the Clos de la Commaraine wine to its former glory and make it one of the best Premier Crus of Cote de Beaune. To achieve this, they made an agreement with Domaine Comte du Liger-Belair's winemaker, Louis-Michel Liger-Belair to be the...
