Domaine Chantal Lescure - Pommard - Les Vignots 2020
Domaine Chantal Lescure is located in the town of Nuits-Saint-Georges , in Burgundy . Founded in 1975 by Chantal Lescure and Xavier Machard de Gramont , the family estate now operates 19 hectares of vines, to the north on the hillsides of Dijon and to the south as far as Meursault. Aymeric and Thibault Machard de Gramont , the two sons of Chantal Lescure, took over the estate when their mother died in 1996. Each year, they produce 19 cuvées from 35 plots. The vineyard is entirely cultivated in certified organic farming since 2006.
Pommard Les Vignots comes from 35-year-old Pinot Noir vines, planted on an area of 1 hectare. After the manual harvest, the grapes are sorted, destemmed, and vatted by gravity. Fermentation is long and gentle, in stainless steel vats with moderate punching down and vatting for 18 to 25 days. Aging takes place in a cold cellar, on the lees with 30% new barrels .
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
