Domaine Lécheneaut

Vincent and Philippe Lecheneaut waited until three days after the ban de vendange of '98 because the grapes weren't really ripe yet, and ultimately brought in a crop not much bigger than the small '97 harvest. The Lecheneaut brothers are another example of a domain practicing much gentler extraction than just a few years ago (they can now destem without crushing the berries, and they punch down less frequently during fermentation), with the result that the wines vary more according to site. The five 1998 village wines that I sampled from barrel were accurate reflections of their respective communes, which is, or should be, the point of Burgundy. The village wines as well as the Nuits-Saint-Georges Damodes sent to America are aged in 100% new oak; there is just a single cuvee of the Lecheneauts' other cru bottlings. The '97s were racked only for the bottling last February. (Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, D.C.)
