The stops
- Winery · Price: very high Domaine Leroy: The 10 hl/ha Miracle Lalou Bize-Leroy co-owns DRC, but she considers her own Domaine Leroy her true life's work. Since 1988, she has pursued extreme biodynamic viticulture with yields as low as 10 hl/ha - versus 35+ for normal Burgundy. The result: perhaps the most concentrated, age-worthy Pinot Noir on Earth. Visiting is nearly impossible, but tasting in Beaune wine bars is achievable. One glass of Leroy will permanently recalibrate your understanding of what Pinot can become.
- Tour · Free Richebourg: The Shared Legend Unlike Romanée-Conti (DRC monopole), Richebourg is shared among multiple owners including DRC, Domaine Leroy, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, and Gros. This 8-hectare Grand Cru often produces Vosne's most powerful wines - structured, age-worthy, and (relatively) accessible.
