Planted to Chardonnay, and until now the least visible wine in the range. Auxey-Duresses is where Maison Leroy has had its cellars since François Leroy founded the house in 1868, and the commune remains the family's base in the Côte de Beaune, so the parcel sits at the historical centre of the business rather than at its edge.The wine has been sold exclusively in Japan, through Takashimaya, which is why it is absent from almost every reference work and auction record. Its release to wider markets in 2026 is the first change to the composition of the selection in many years.
