Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Lécheneaut (Domaine) 2017
The wine
From chalky soil, the vine is grown on marl land. The harvests are undertaken by hand. Produced in quantities of just 500 bottles, Clos de la Roche from Domaine Lécheneaut is a dynamic wine that is full of energy and beautiful aromas of pepper and cloves. The notes of black fruits delicately bring the flavours together. On the palate, its acidity and tannins are well-crafted, giving the wine a certain finesse. With superb length and a burst of flavours, this is one of the Côte de Nuits’ most wonderful wines
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.
