Domaine d'Auvenay

Domaine d'Auvenay is a small Burgundian wine estate based in Saint-Romain. It is owned and managed by Lalou Bize-Leroy of Domaine Leroy, having been previously been run by her husband Marcel Bize until his death in 2004. The estate features a hunting lodge that is Bize-Leroy's home.

Under the d'Auvenay label, she produces estate-grown village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. There are only 4 hectares (10 acres) of vines, compared with the 22ha (54 acres) at Domaine Leroy, but these holdings include plots in the Mazis-Chambertin, Bonnes-Mares and Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru vineyards, as well as in a small handful of premier cru vineyards including Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières and Meursault les Gouttes d'Or.
