Henri Leroy was a friend of Edmond Gaudin de Villaine. He gave the best of himself to this Domaine; his intelligence, professionalism, his heart, and made it what it is today. He died in , proud to have kept his promise to his friend Edmond Gaudin de Villaine: She became President-Directeur General en For Maison Leroy, still today, she searches unceasingly to purchase the best wines, and for her the best is always yet to come.

The Gironde estuary dominates the regions along with its tributaries , the Garonne and the Dordogne rivers, and together irrigate the land and provide an Atlantic Climate, also known as an oceanic climate , for the region. In Bordeaux the concept of terroir plays a pivotal role in wine production with the top estates aiming to make terroir driven wines that reflect the place they are from, often from grapes collected from a single vineyard. The region's best vineyards are located on the well-drained gravel soils that are frequently found near the Gironde river.
An old adage in Bordeaux is the best estates can "see the river" from their vineyards. The majority of land facing riverward is occupied by classified estates. Red Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. This is typically referred to as the "Bordeaux Blend". Since then it has been in constant decline although it still is the most common of Bordeaux's white grapes. Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style.

Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.

At some point between pressing and bottling the wine is blended. In addition to mixing wine from different grape varieties, wine from different parts of the vineyard is often aged separately, and then blended into either the main or the second wine or sold off wholesale according to the judgment of the winemaker. The wine is then bottled and usually undergoes a further period of ageing before it is released for sale. The 60 Bordeaux appellations and the wine styles they represent are usually categorized into six main families, four red based on the subregions and two white based on sweetness:
