Robert Parker’s tasting notes on the Maranges Premier Cru Le Clos des Loyères 2019: “The 2019 Maranges Premier Cru Le Clos des Loyères is excellent, delivering aromas of cherries, wild berries, rose petals and spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a layered core of fruit, lively acids and a long, pure finish, it's the finest wine Leroy has produced to date.”

History

2018

Domaine Fiona Leroy is managed by its founder and the current winemaker, Fiona Leroy.

Fiona Leroy, an economist in the past, left her career in Paris. She has been working with domaines across Burgundy between 2013 and 2017 when she decided to try her hand at winemaking. She got an opportunity to take on some vineyards farmed by Yvon and Chantal Contat-Grangé. The vineyards were already certified organic. Fiona Leroy made her first vintage in 2018.
