Presentation
Founded in 1975 by Chantal Lescure and Xavier Machard de Gramont, Domaine Chantal Lescure is a family-owned estate that today cultivates 19 hectares of vineyards, stretching from the slopes of Dijon in the north down to Meursault in the south.
In 1996, following the sad passing of Chantal Lescure, her children took over the estate. Aymeric and Thibault Machard de Gramont joined forces and entrusted the technical direction to François Chaveriat. This marked a radical rethink of previous practices and the beginning of a vast transformation.
From 1997 onwards, the decision was made to abandon chemical treatments so that the soils could come back to life and the grapes fully express the quality of their terroirs. The vineyard has since been entirely cultivated under organic farming, officially certified since 2006.
At the same time, the distribution network was restructured and rebuilt. Today, the reputation of Domaine Chantal Lescure is firmly established.
Location
This parcel is home to vines aged between 15 and 50 years, planted on a surface of 0.42 hectares.
Terroir
Deep brown limestone soil on scree, formed from the alluvial deposits of the Combe Brûlée overlooking this terroir.
In the vineyard
Key vineyard practices include careful soil work, sustainable cultivation methods, yield control, and close monitoring of ripening to ensure optimal fruit quality.
Harvest
Harvesting is carried out manually, in 25 kg crates. Grapes are sorted, destemmed, not crushed, and transferred into vats by gravity.
Winemaking
Vinification takes place in small 25-hectolitre truncated wooden vats. Vatting lasts 18 to 25 days, with moderate punching down.
Ageing
The wines are aged on their lees in a cool cellar for 16 to 18 months, with 50% to 80% new oak depending on the vintage. Racking takes place one month before bottling, which is carried out without fining or filtration.
