Fernand Lécheneaut bought the 22-hectare Domaine in the 1960s. Based mainly in Côte-de-Nuits region, the estate is spread through the appellations of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Morey-Saint-Denis, Vosne-Romanee and Chambolle-Musigny. In addition, the Domaine has a small vineyard in the grand cru Cls de la Roche in Morey-Saint-Denis. 90% of the vines are Pinot Noir, 5% Chardonnay and 5% Aligote.

The Domaine has been run since 1985 by brothers Vincent and Phillipe Lécheneaut, who are admirable vignerons. The estate is considered one of the finest in Burgundy.

Once harvested, the wines spend 18 months in barrique without fining and filtration upon bottling. The wines are superbly crafted, concentrated yet forward and elegant, with well-integrated oak. Wine availability is strictly limited.
