Domaine Leroy: Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy’s Reign
From the heart of Burgundy to international auctions, Domaine Leroy is a legend in winemaking. Discover the story of Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy, the origins of the estate, and why her Musigny wines are among the most coveted by collectors worldwide.

Born in Meursault in 1932, Lalou Bize-Leroy is the daughter of Henri Leroy, a visionary entrepreneur and co-owner of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. Immersed in Burgundy’s authentic atmosphere from an early age, Madame Leroy began working in the family estate in the 1950s, quickly showcasing a unique talent for vineyard selection and terroir expression.
In 1988, after differences in vision at Romanée-Conti, she decided to fully dedicate herself to Domaine Leroy, established by merging family properties and acquiring prestigious parcels in the most sought-after Grand Crus of the Côte de Nuits. Her production philosophy, based on strict biodynamic practices and extremely low yields, has made Domaine Leroy a benchmark of absolute excellence.
Musigny: Leroy’s Crown Jewel
Domaine Leroy’s Musigny is considered one of the most prized wines in the world. According to Wine-Searcher, the average price for a bottle of Musigny Leroy now exceeds €40,000, with vintages like 1990 and 2005 approaching €100,000. Falstaff confirms that Domaine Leroy dominates the ranking of the world’s most expensive wines, with nine of the top ten labels belonging to Lalou Bize-Leroy.
Auctions further confirm the growing demand: at Sotheby’s and Christie’s, lots of Musigny Leroy have achieved record prices, such as a case of six bottles from the 1999 vintage that sold for over €500,000 in 2024. According to Rare Wine Invest, between 2020 and 2025 the average value of Domaine Leroy wines grew by +81.52%, cementing the brand as one of the most solid and high-performing in the fine wine collecting market. The limited supply (fewer than 800 cases per year) contributes to the rarity and supports value on the secondary market.
