Nuits Saint-Georges Lécheneaut (Domaine) 2005
The wine
This wine comes from an blend of several Nuits-Saint-Georges parcels, with vines of an average age of 50 years. It delivers aromas of cherry, strawberry, blackcurrant, rose and licorice; after a few years, notes of leather, truffle and macerated fruit also appear. There is plenty of body on the palate, with a robust, full-bodied side and excellent length.
About the Producer Lécheneaut
Domaine Lécheneaut was founded at Nuits Saint-Georges in the late 1950s, with 2.5 hectares of vines as its starting point. In 1986, Fernand’s two sons, Philippe and Vincent took over, enlarged the domaine (10 hectares over 18 appellations today) and modernised its facilities. Together, they produce wines in a classic Burgundy style, with good density, without excess and a true expression of the terroirs. They rely on superb plots in the villages of Morey, Chambolle, Vosne and Nuits. The domaine only produces red wines. The wines always show a very high precision in élevage and vinification. The prices have remained reasonable, making it an excellent place to go in Côte des Nuits.
