WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Chantal Lescure's Beaune 1er Cru 'Les Chouacheux' epitomizes excellence from its prime location within the Beaune appellation. This premier cru is sourced from a single vineyard, 'Les Chouacheux', known for its clay-limestone soils and optimal sun exposure. The winemaking at Domaine Chantal Lescure is meticulous: grapes are hand-harvested and sorted, then gently destemmed before undergoing gravity-fed fermentation in stainless steel vats. The maceration period lasts 18 to 25 days, with regular punch-downs to extract optimal flavor and structure. The wine is matured in a cool cellar environment with a proportion of new oak barrels (typically 30-50%) for 16 to 18 months. Before bottling, the wine is racked but not filtered or fined, preserving its natural character and integrity.
