Domaine Lécheneaut

This superb 10ha domaine was created in the 1980’s by Fernand, father of Philippe and Vincent who now run the domaine. The wines are very exciting and sumptious, brimming with expressive and beautiful Pinot Noir characters, with 30% whole bunch fermentation. The wines are aged for 12 months in barrel with 80% being supplied by Francois Frères.

Intense and oozing finesse, the bouquet is overt with violets and red berries. There are notes of mature fruit, prunes, and truffles. Rich and complex, there is a fleshy delicacy that combines with plush tannins around a solid structure. A classic Chambolle.
Very old vines, up to 80 years old, 5 parcels of vines handpicked and partly destemmed.
