Domaine Lécheneaut
Nuits-Saint-Georges
Situated in Nuits Saint Georges, Maison Lécheneaut enjoys a prestigious location in the Côtede Nuits, cultivating around twelve hectares dispersed across twenty esteemed appellations.
Founded by Fernand Lécheneaut in the late 1950s, the estate began with two and a half hectares.
In 1986, his sons, Philippe and Vincent, took the leadership of the domain after completing their oenological training in Beaune, continuing the estate's growth.
They acquired many premier cru parcels and enhanced the domain’s viticultural practices.
Notable advancements include the modernization of facilities, the enlargement of the winery, and the introduction of thermoregulation for more precise vinification.
Vincent and Philippe, committed to quality, aim to broaden their appellation portfolio while preserving the familial and traditional essence.
Since 2017, Jules Lécheneaut, representing the third generation, has joined the estate, ensuring the continuation of this esteemed winery's heritage.
