Tasting notes for the Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru "Les Vallerots" 2021 - Chantal Lescure

  • EYE: The depth of this grand cru wine is immediately apparent through its intense ruby robe, showing us the richness of this Nuits-Saint-Georges. Purple reflections underline the brilliance of this captivating color.
  • NOSE: A complex aromatic palette unfolds. Aromas of Morello cherry and blackberry elegantly intertwine with delicate woody notes, a result of subtly mastered barrel aging. Whiffs of violet bring a floral touch, enriching the olfactory depth of this wine.
  • MOUTH: The power of the terroir is expressed through this cuvée. The remarkably fine tannins elegantly structure the wine. Flavors of black fruits, supported by notes of licorice and cocoa, stretch persistently. The balance between freshness and warmth offers a rich and harmonious tasting experience.

 

In short: This Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru "Les Vallerots" 2021 from Domaine Chantal Lescure represents the quintessence of the Burgundian terroir. Its aging potential is estimated at 15 years, allowing for a subtle evolution of its aromas and perfect integration of its silky tannins. This grand cru is best enjoyed with characterful dishes, such as a slow-cooked coq au vin, beef fillet with mushroom sauce, or an intense dark chocolate fondant.

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.
