Situated in the Côte de Beaune, Domaine d’Auvenay was established by the renowned winemaker Lalou Bize-Leroy. In the early 1990s, Lalou made the decision to acquire a farm in Saint-Romain, amassing just under 4 hectares of vineyards, including two Grands Crus in the Côte-de-Nuits and several plots in the esteemed white terroirs of the Côte de Beaune.
Like Domaine Leroy in Meursault, Domaine d’Auvenay adopts biodynamic viticulture practices, adhering to consistent viticulture and vinification principles for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay (constituting 90% of the whites), and Aligoté (making up 10% of the whites). The vines are cultivated at a humane height without pruning, and the yield is intentionally kept low, measuring at less than 15 hectoliters per hectare, resulting in wines with remarkable length.
This vineyard has gained international acclaim. Lalou Bize-Leroy has once again astounded wine enthusiasts with cuvées such as “Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru,” “Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru,” and “Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru,” all of which have garnered impressive tasting scores.
