Criots Batard Montrachet 2006 - Domaine d'Auvenay

•  Presentation of the winery

In the 1990s, famous Lalou Bize-Leroy, CEO of the house Leroy, shareholder of Romanée-Conti, bought the Auvenay winery, which includes two grands crus in  Côte de Nuits and some beautiful plots in large white terroirs of Côte de Beaune. This area of 4 hectares apply the same techniques of cultivation and vinification that area Leroy. The vines are biodynamic and cover many names, from aligoté  to grand cru Chevalier Montrachet. We find in these bottles the style that made the reputation of the great Burgundies. Few people have the chance to taste the production of this property of Côte d’Or, as the global demand is high and the prices very expensive.
