Description
Domaine Lécheneaut is a splendid, ten-hectare family estate in Nuits-Saint-Georges. Vinification is traditional with most of the fruit destemmed and given a five-day cold maceration before fermentation in steel and cement vats at a maximum of 28C. Ageing is in barrels from François Frères and Seguin-Moreau, whose fine-grained oak complements the wines.
The vines in this 0.7 hectare plot on the Vosne-Romanée side of Nuits are over 70 years old and merit being vinified separately. Magnificent red and black cherry fruit allied to smokey, spicy flavours. A generous, fleshy wine with fine weight and concentration.
