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.

A lovely deep colour, forward and expressive on the nose, very fragrant and sweet-tinged. The palate is well balanced with thick sweet fruit, black cherry, raspberry and cranberry, balanced by seductive ripe tannins and a lick of fresh acidity.

The grapes are grown in the Premeux area, and average 25 years old. Aged in barrels for 9 months, barrels aged from 1 year to 6 years old.
