While the Musigny from Domaine Leroy is very rare and elusive it's somehow a bit under the collectors radar - as the Musignys from de Vogüé and Mugnier are much more visible in the marketplace. Make no mistake however ... the Musigny from Mme Bize-Leroy is just as exclusive as the other offerings …
