Domaine Chantal Lescure - Les Moles Maison Dieu 2021
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.
Les Taupes Maison Dieu comes from 50-year-old Pinot Noir vines, planted on the Pommard plain, over an area of 0.50 hectares. The soil is clay-limestone, very stony. After the manual harvest, the grapes are sorted, destemmed and not crushed. Maceration and fermentation are gentle, in closed vats with little punching down. The aging lasts 12 to 14 months in stainless steel vats for one part, and the other part (20 to 30%) is aged for 6 to 8 months on the lees in barrels of one or two wines .
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
