Tasting notes for the Clos-de-Vougeot Grand Cru 2017 - Domaine Chantal Lescure
- EYE: Intense ruby robe with violet reflections.
- NOSE: Prepare yourself for a complex aromatic bouquet, blending notes of red and black fruits (blackcurrant, cherry, raspberry) with spicy undertones (pepper, cloves) and floral hints (violet).
- MOUTH: This wine is elegant, with a solid tannic structure and beautiful acidity that brings freshness. The flavors of red and black fruits persist, accompanied by mineral and woody touches (vanilla, licorice). The finish is long and persistent, leaving an impression of finesse and balance.
In short: The Clos-de-Vougeot Grand Cru 2017 from Domaine Chantal Lescure is a pure product of organic farming. This vintage is a sublime grand cru that could be enjoyed now. However, for a better experience, it is recommended to wait another 10-15 years before opening. This wine pairs well with red meat dishes, such as grilled beef tenderloin or roasted duck breast. It can also be enjoyed with hard and aged cheeses, such as Comté or aged Parmesan.

Fine wine from Nuits-Saint-Georges
The Domaine Chantal Lescure is one of the most recent wine estates in Burgundy, as it opened its doors in 1975, in the commune of Nuits-Saint-Georges (located to the north of Meursault). Despite its young age, the estate quickly became famous for the quality of its wines. The 18 hectares of vineyard managed by Chantal and her husband Xavier Machard de Gramont are nestled between the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. There are 35 parcels and around 20 different appellations in the vineyard, such as Chambolle-Musigny and Volnay.
When Chantal died, in 1996, her two sons Aymeric and Thibault took the helm of the family estate. They immediately thought about the way they were doing things, to define whether the vinification and winegrowing methods were the right ones. As a result, the Machard de Gramont brothers decided in 1997 to try a more organic approach. Since September 2009, all the wines produced by the Domaine Chantal Lescure are now AB certified.
The soils of the vineyard are a blend of clay, silt, pebbles and limestone. Here, grape harvesting is done entirely by hand and the winemaking process is deliberately non-interventionist. This in turn ensures that the red and white wines made by the two brothers can transmit all the specificities of the incredible Nuits-Saint-Georges terroir, in a never ending quest for purity and authenticity.
