1964, Auvenay. Leroy. Level: 3 cm under cork. Capsule: very good. Label: very good. When looking for a 1964 Leroy d'Auvenay wine, it is important to understand a key distinction in the history of Burgundy's most legendary producer: Domaine d'Auvenay did not officially exist as a commercial winery in 1964.Domaine d'Auvenay was established in 1988/1989 by Lalou Bize-Leroy. Before this time, the d'Auvenay property in Saint-Romain was operated as an inherited family dairy farm. Any 1964 vintage bottles you see associated with these names fall into a specific category, the 1964 Maison Leroy "Collection" In 1964, Lalou Bize-Leroy was running her family's historic négociant business, Maison Leroy (founded in 1868). Maison Leroy did not grow its own grapes at the time; instead, Lalou purchased exceptional finished wines and barrels from top growers across Burgundy, aging them meticulously in her cellars before release. Over the decades, Maison Leroy kept a pristine back-catalog of these old vintages. Because Lalou Bize-Leroy now owns and operates Domaine d'Auvenay as her personal home estate, some auction houses, collectors, and databases label these rare library releases as "Maison Leroy d'Auvenay Collection" or list them under the broader umbrella of her estates.
