I tasted the extraordinary 2002 whites wines from this domain last November, when I made a quick stop at Domaine d'Auvenay to taste Lalou Bize-Leroy's Bonnes-Mares and Mazi-Chambertin before we raced north to Vosne-Romanee to taste the series of Domaine Leroy reds. The whites were as mindbending as the reds; all had been bottled in July of 2003. Lalou Bize racks her white wines after the malolactic fermentations, then leaves them on their fine lees, without batonnage Only when there are more than two barrels of a given cuvee are the wines assembled for the bottling.
