The Clos de la Roche is highly chalky with barely 30 cm of topsoil, a few pebbles and some large blocks of stone from which it derives its name. The vineyards, located in “Monts Luisants”, are planted directly in the marls of Ostrea with a limestone outcrop from Premeaux in the upper layers that nourish the limestone and marly soil. Limestone fossils can more often be found on the lower part of Clos de la Roche. Produced from a parcel of 0.2ha planted with 60 year old vines this is a colossal wine.
This is an En Primeur wine and special conditions apply.

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.

Showing aromas of pepper, cinnamon, and cloves that are weaved into the intense black fruits. Big in structure but with oodles of finesse.
Aged in a new 350 litre barrel from tonnellerie Montgillard.
