Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2023 Lecheneaut Gevrey-Chambertin shows a luminous ruby to deep garnet hue, with a youthful brightness at the rim that hints at its freshness. The nose is poised and expressive: dark cherries and wild strawberries are layered with notes of crushed violets, rose petals, and a subtle mix of spice—think white pepper, clove, and a touch of sandalwood—underpinned by forest floor, fresh earth, and a whisper of graphite. On the palate, this is classic Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir—silky yet structured. Juicy red and black cherry, raspberry, and cranberry are framed by fine-grained tannins and a vibrant, mouthwatering acidity that keeps the wine lively and precise. Subtle oak influence adds gentle toast and spice without overshadowing the fruit. The finish is long and linear, with minerality and savory nuances emerging as the wine opens. While already accessible in its youth after some air, the 2023 has the structure to evolve nicely over the next 8–12 years, gaining complexity and further integration of its fruit, spice, and earthy notes.

Production
Sourced from multiple carefully selected parcels in Gevrey-Chambertin, this wine reflects the village’s classic terroir: predominantly limestone and clay soils that deliver both depth and a clear mineral spine. The vines are farmed with close attention to ecological balance, with low yields to concentrate flavor and preserve the character of each site. Grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, with careful sorting to ensure only the healthiest berries make it into the cuvée. Vinification follows a traditional Burgundian approach: partial whole-cluster fermentation depending on vintage conditions, a gentle extraction through pump-overs and punch-downs, and a spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels—only a proportion new—to enhance texture and aromatic complexity while maintaining transparency to the terroir.

Food & Serving
Lecheneaut Gevrey-Chambertin 2023 pairs beautifully with refined yet comforting dishes. Think roasted duck with cherries, herb-crusted lamb, veal chops, or game birds such as partridge or guinea fowl. It also shines alongside mushroom-based dishes, like porcini risotto, wild mushroom tart, or truffle-infused poultry, and can elevate classic Burgundian fare like coq au vin or boeuf bourguignon. Serve at around 15–16°C (59–61°F) to highlight its aromatics and finesse. For optimal enjoyment in its youth, decant for 45–60 minutes to allow the wine to unfold its layers of fruit, spice, and earth; as it ages, a shorter decant or simply opening in advance will be sufficient.
