1995 | Lecheneaut | Nuits St Georges Les Damodes

Beautiful aromas of blackberries and roses are followed by a firmly structured, crisp-tasting wine. Plenty of dry tannins in evidence.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: From a 40 year old parcel bordering Vosne-Romanee, the dark-ruby-colored Nuits-St.-Georges Les Damodes reveals a fabulously perfumed, spicy sweet nose and an extremely elegant, structured, delineated, thick-textured, tangy-fruit-packed personality. A real winner! Drink between 2002-2008. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided.

Producer Information

Domaine Lécheneaut is a Burgundy winery based in Nuits-Saint-Georges known for its Pinot Noir. It farms 10 hectares (25 acres) of vineyards in 18 different appellations in the Côte de Nuits. Lécheneaut also grows small amounts of Chardonnay and Aligoté within its portfolio.The domaine was founded at the end of the 1950s by Fernand Lécheneaut with a little more than 2ha (5 acres) of vineyards in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis. During its early years, the domaine sold bulk wine to négociants. In the 1980s, Fernand's sons Philippe and Vincent took over and in 1987 began expanding the domaine's vineyard holdings, while beginning to bottle wines at the estate. The new Lécheneaut plots included several premier cru vineyards in Chambolle-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin.
