The Morey St. Denis 1er Cru is striking. A deeply pitched, expressive bouquet melds into layers of dark fruit. The Morey boasts gorgeous textural depth and intensity all the way through to the finish, where cool, mineral notes provide plenty of backbone. The wine needs time to soften, but make no mistake about it, the Morey 1er is a stunner.

Domaine Léchenaut, situated in the heart of Burgundy in the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges, is a respected family-run winery that has made significant contributions to the reputation of Burgundian wines. Managed by the Léchenaut brothers, Vincent and Philippe, the estate spans around 10 hectares across several appellations, including some prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. The domaine is known for its dedication to expressing the nuanced terroirs of their vineyards through meticulous viticultural practices and thoughtful winemaking.

The wines of Domaine Léchenaut are particularly notable for their elegance, depth, and structure. They are crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir, the region's hallmark grape, which is handled with a philosophy that emphasises minimal intervention in both the vineyard and the cellar. This approach ensures that the wines reflect the distinctive characteristics of each plot they cultivate.

Characteristically, Léchenaut's wines feature a balance of rich fruit and refined tannins, often with subtle hints of earth and spice derived from careful aging in oak barrels. The domaine's commitment to quality and its artisanal approach to winemaking have garnered it a loyal following among Burgundy aficionados who appreciate the authenticity and traditional style of its wines.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
