Ruppert Leroy

Bénédicte Leroy’s parents were originally sheep farmers settling in Essoyes in 1975 to start a small farm on a clearing above the town. In the 1980s they learned they could plant grapes on the the land they had been renting for the sheep to graze. Little by little, they created a domaine which today is four hectares, not including the garden and small pasture they kept for their own animals. In 2009, when her father was about to retire, Bénédicte left her job as a physical education teacher to take over the domaine.
