Lalou Bize-Leroy is renowned for her rigorous and demanding approach to viticulture. She voluntarily limits the yields of her vines to favour a better concentration and expression of the aromas in the grapes. The grapes are harvested by hand, and a careful selection is made to retain only the highest quality grapes. Domaine Leroy wines are considered to be among the best in Burgundy, if not the world. They are often praised for their purity, elegance and ability to reflect the terroir from which they are made. The estate's vintages are produced in limited quantities, making them highly sought after by wine lovers and collectors.

Lalou Bize-Leroy is an iconic figure in Burgundy and a pioneer in the production of high quality biodynamic wines. Her commitment to quality and expression of terroir has helped make Domaine Leroy one of the most respected and admired estates in the region.

The Chateau represents a homogeneous group of stone buildings. Built in the 16th and 17th centuries, the castle dominates the vineyards in which it is located. The functional buildings adjoining the castle were built in the 17th century with stones extracted from regional limestone quarries. The architects of the time wanted to protect the château from intruders and the western ocean winds by constructing a long building facing due west, the rhythm of which is harmoniously broken in the centre by a paved, arched porch through which horse-drawn carriages could enter. A huge cellar and outbuildings have been added over the years to this vast complex, which is bounded by long stone and rubble walls. As for the vineyard, it is in one piece, ideally situated on the slopes and at the foot of the slopes.

To the north of Riquewihr, the vines run along the southern and south-eastern slopes of the Schoenenbourg hillside at an altitude of between 265 and 380 metres, on a fairly steep slope.

The 53.40 ha site is established on Keuper, marly, dolomitic and gypseous soils, rich in fertilizing elements and which retain water well. They are covered by thin Quaternary layers of siliceous Vosges sandstone and Muschelkalk pebbles, while at the eastern end calcareous Lias marls are exposed.

On the Schoenenbourg, Riesling is king. Muscat and Pinot Gris also do well here.

The Grands Crus Schoenenbourg, excellent wines for ageing, develop powerful and rich aromas. The microclimate of the terroir is particularly suited to the prestigious Vendanges Tardives and Sélections de Grains Nobles.
