An estate collection from a prominent Toronto family, the bottles were acquired over many years and stored in a temperature- and humidity-controlled cellar prior to arriving at Iron Gate.
The producer note for 1978 Maison Leroy d'Auvenay Bourgogne Rouge - Domaine d'Auvenay is the vineyard and home of Lalou Bize-Leroy and her late husband Marcel, producing biodynamic, estate-grown village, premier, and grand cru wines. These small vineyard plots (the whole estate totals only 3.9 hectares over eight appellations) see the same stringent biodynamic farming practices as Leroy's other holdings. Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy is a Burgundian legend who needs no introduction. With her family's 50% ownership in Domaine Romanée-Conti, she has access to the best of the best in the Côte d'Or.
