About This Wine
Bourgogne Blanc is the regional white Burgundy appellation, sourced from Chardonnay across Burgundy and labelled under the Leroy family's négociant label. The appellation typically gives wines of citrus, orchard fruit and fine mineral lift, with the balance of ripe fruit and supporting acidity that defines regional Burgundy Chardonnay. Maison Leroy sources fruit for its Bourgogne Blanc bottling through its négociant operations across the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. The 2017 vintage on the Côte de Beaune produced classically proportioned, ageworthy Chardonnay with bright acidity and the capacity to develop gracefully.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Lemon, grapefruit, white blossom and a fresh chalky edge from regional Burgundy Chardonnay.
- Palate: Crisp and bright, with citrus fruit, light oak and a clean mineral finish.
- Finish: Clean, fresh and gently mineral, with a regional Cote de Beaune signature.
Serving & Food
Chill lightly and serve at 11 to 13 degrees in a standard white-wine glass. Oysters or a simple poultry in cream both match its mineral freshness.
How to Enjoy
Cellar through the late 2020s for further integration, or open now alongside a seafood or poultry course.

About the Maison
The Maison Leroy house sits within the wider Leroy family firm founded in Auxey-Duresses in 1865 by Francois Leroy and is run today as the negociant counterpart to Domaine Leroy, the biodynamic estate built up by Lalou Bize-Leroy from the late 1980s. Maison Leroy draws on the same family's long Burgundian history and on cellar and vineyard staff who select fruit with the same rigour that defines the domaine. The two arms operate independently but share a low-yield approach and a barrel-by-barrel selection that has made the Leroy name a reference for fine Burgundy. Bourgogne Blanc, bottled under the negociant arm, sits at the regional entry of the maison's white Burgundy range.
