Domaine Lecheneaut is a family-owned winery located in the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges in Burgundy, France. The winery was established in 1976 by brothers Philippe and Vincent Lecheneaut, who inherited vineyards from their father. Today, the winery is run by Vincent's son, Nicolas, who continues the family tradition of producing high-quality wines.
Domaine Lecheneaut Nuits Saint Georges Au Chouillet Vieilles Vignes 2019 is a red wine made from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation of Burgundy, France. The grapes come from the Au Chouillet vineyard, which is known for its old vines, some of which are over 60 years old.
It has a deep ruby color and a complex aroma of dark fruit, such as black cherry and blackberry, with hints of spice and earthy undertones. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a rich and velvety texture, with flavors of black fruit, such as blackberry and blackcurrant, along with notes of vanilla and oak. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, and the wine has a long, smooth finish.
It is a wine that can be enjoyed now or aged for several years to allow the flavors to develop further. It pairs well with hearty dishes such as roasted meats, stews, and game.
