Today, Richard Leroy is internationally famous, with visitors from around the world making their way to his cellar.

He is a Natural Wine Godfather, thanks not only to his brilliant winemaking, but also to his depiction in the Les Ignorants comic strip. But before this transformation, Richard was just a back-to-the-land ex-Paris banker who befriended old-timers in the Layon to figure out the absolute best vineyards for Chenin Blanc.

Most bottles of his 150- to 200-case production Clos des Rouliers were consumed soon after their release and back vintages are vapor. And with current vintages selling for up to $200 a bottle on release, this is your opportunity to acquire a very rare, mature bottle at a giveaway price.
