Chantal Lescure

🍷 Domaine Chantal Lescure — Burgundy with heart and soul

If you've ever wondered what Burgundy tastes like when it's made with real care, Domaine Chantal Lescure is a brilliant place to start. Based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, right in the middle of the Côte de Nuits, this family estate has been quietly crafting some of the region's most honest and expressive wines since 1975. No fuss, no showing off — just beautifully made bottles that speak clearly of where they come from.

🌿 A terroir you can taste

The estate spreads across roughly 17 hectares, with parcels scattered between the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. That means you get the best of both worlds: the firm, structured reds of Nuits-Saint-Georges and Vosne-Romanée, alongside the softer, more perfumed charm of Pommard, Beaune and Chambolle-Musigny. The soils here are a patchwork of limestone, clay and marl, and each plot brings its own personality to the glass.

Since the early 2000s, the whole domaine has been farmed organically, with biodynamic practices woven in. Horses still work some of the steeper vineyards, and nothing is rushed. You can taste that patience — the wines have a purity and a freshness that's hard to fake.

🍇 The grapes behind the bottles

Pinot Noir is the star of the show. It's behind the estate's reds, from the silky Pommard "Les Vignots" to the deep, long-lived Nuits-Saint-Georges premiers crus. Expect red cherry, wild strawberry, a touch of spice and that lovely earthy edge that only Burgundy does properly.

Chardonnay handles the whites, grown on chalky slopes that give the wines a lively, mineral backbone. Think white flowers, citrus, hazelnut and a creamy finish that never feels heavy.

🥂 Why you'll love these wines

Chantal Lescure wines are approachable young but reward a few years in the cellar. They're the sort of bottles you open for a good meal with people you like — a roast chicken, a plate of mushrooms, a bit of aged comté. Elegant without being intimidating, and genuinely fair value for the quality in the glass.

Volnay

A benchmark red from Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, crafted by a family domaine farming its vines organically since 2008. The 2021 vintage shows all the charm of this celebrated village: silky Pinot Noir with scents of cherry, wild strawberry and a touch of violet, backed by gentle spice from careful ageing in French oak. Grapes are hand-picked, largely destemmed and vinified with a long, gentle maceration to draw out perfume rather than power. The result is supple, elegant and beautifully balanced — lovely now with roast poultry or mushroom dishes, yet happy to rest in your cellar for a few more years.

Beaune 1er cru les Chouacheux

Tucked just below the famous Beaune slopes, this plot gives you a Pinot Noir with real charm. The domaine works its vines organically, by hand, with tiny yields and a deep respect for the clay-limestone soil that brings structure and finesse. Grapes come in whole-bunch, ferment gently with native yeasts, then rest quietly in oak barrels where only a touch of new wood is used — so the fruit stays front and centre. Expect ripe cherry, wild raspberry, a hint of spice and silky tannins. Lovely now with roast poultry or mushroom dishes, and it'll keep charming you for a good decade.

Pommard Les Vaumuriens

Grown on the high slopes of Pommard, this Pinot Noir comes from a small family domaine farming organically since the early 2000s. The vines sit on stony, well-drained limestone soil, giving wines with real tension and lift rather than heaviness. Grapes are hand-harvested, partially destemmed and fermented with native yeasts, then aged quietly in oak barrels with only a light touch of new wood. The result is deep ruby in the glass, with black cherry, wild raspberry and a hint of warm spice, held together by fine, chalky tannins. Lovely now with roast duck, even better after a few more years.
52.36 € incl tax

Pommard 1er cru Les Bertins

Nestled on the lower slopes of a celebrated Burgundy village, this Pinot Noir comes from a family domaine farming organically since the early 2000s. The parcel sits on deep, clay-rich soils scattered with pebbles, giving wines real muscle and depth. Grapes are hand-picked, largely destemmed, then fermented slowly with gentle extraction before ageing in French oak barrels, a modest portion new, to keep the fruit centre stage. Expect dark cherry, blackberry and a touch of liquorice, with firm yet polished tannins and a savoury, earthy finish. Open it alongside roast duck, beef or mature cheeses, or cellar it for a decade.

NSG 1er cru Les Vallerots

Nestled on the southern slopes of Nuits-Saint-Georges, this premier cru comes from a steep, stony parcel where limestone and pebbles give the Pinot Noir real backbone. The family-run estate works its vines organically, hand-harvesting small yields and letting the fruit speak for itself. Gentle extraction, a long, patient maceration and ageing in French oak barrels build depth without masking the terroir. Expect a deep ruby glass, aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and a hint of liquorice and warm spice, with silky tannins and a lovely mineral edge on the finish. Drink it now with game or roast lamb, or cellar it a few more years.

Volnay 1er Cru Carelle sous la chapelle

This elegant Burgundy comes from a sun-blessed slope just below the chapel, where limestone-rich soils give the fruit a lovely sense of poise. The domaine works its vines organically, picking by hand and sorting with real care, so only the healthiest grapes make the cut. Gentle extraction and ageing in French oak barrels bring depth without masking the terroir's natural finesse. Expect silky red cherry and wild raspberry, a whisper of violet, and supple tannins that glide across the palate. The 2021 vintage brings freshness and precision, making it a joy with roast duck, mushroom risotto or a quiet evening of good conversation.
