Domaine Lecheneaut own a scattering of parcels across the Cotes de Nuits since Fernand Lecheneaut acquired the holdings back in the 1960s. Since 1985, after their father fell ill, brothers Vincent and Philippe Lecheneaut have run the winery in Nuits-St.-Georges. They farm around 10-hectares of vine, a majority Pinot Noir, including prized vines in Clos de la Roche. The Nuits-St-Georges Au Chouillet Vieilles Vignes is very taciturn on the nose despite rigorous coaxing before it reluctantly offers muffled earthy scents. The palate is medium bodied with a gentle grip on the entry. This demonstrates a little more backbone though the finish still feels a little forced and demonstrates too much oak.
