chantal lescure bourgogne rouge maison dieu 2020

aymeric and thibault machard de gramont, the two sons of chantal lescure, took over the property on the death of their mother in 1996. each year 19 vintages are made from 35 parcels. the philosophy of the property and its passionate team is simple: produce authentic and pure wines, a true reflection of their terroir. for this, the property applies viticulture that respects the life of the soil, the plant and its environment. we seek optimal maturity through naturally controlled yields. we carry out a smooth vinification, attentive to the particularities of each terroir, and we practice a long maturation on lees, in burgundian pieces and in 500-liter barrels (moderate use of new wood). the wine is bottled on the estate, without filtering or clarifying. living terroirs, authentic wines. the talented françois chaveriat currently runs the discreet but effective domain of him, a rising star. the chantal lescure estate, located in nuit-saint-georges, was bought by eric rousseau, head of one of burgundy's emblematic estates, and by a man from dijon, jean-philippe girard, former head of eurogerm. it displays floral notes and more earthy fruit aromas, with an impressive finish. without being overly fruity, this is a serious burgundy for those who want to immerse themselves in the high quality of pinot noir, with a hint of the quality of village wines and premier crus.
