Product description
En Primeur Nuits Saint Georges Au Chouillet Lécheneaut will be available for delivery or storage once it lands in the UK, usually two years following the en primeur offer.
Splendid, ten-hectare estate, created by Fernand Lécheneaut in the 1980s when land was affordable and which is now run by his sons Philippe and Vincent. In 2019 they decided to harvest early (6th to 15th September) in order to avoid any trace of over-ripeness and have been rewarded with a glorious range of well-balanced, rich yet fresh wines. As usual, the wines have been aged for 12 months in barrel with 80% being supplied by Francois Frères. A stunning range spanning most of the great villages of the Côte de Nuits.
From a plot in the north of Nuits near the border with Vosne, this is produced separately from the straight Nuits village wine as the 80+ year old vines give small berries, producing a wine with a depth and intensity to match many a 1er Cru bottling. Richer, deep dark fruit with ripe tannins and a spicy long finish.
