Domaine Lecheneaut Vosne-Romanée 2016 (75cl, 14%)

Domaine Lecheneaut Vosne-Romanée 2016 is a village-level Burgundy Pinot Noir from Vosne-Romanée, bottled at about 14% ABV in a 750 ml bottle. The estate farms organically and limits yields; the wine is made with mostly de-stemmed fruit plus about 20% whole clusters, a three to six day cold soak, fermentation in cement vats over 15 to 21 days, and ageing for at least 18 months in barrels and demi-muids. The aroma shows strawberry, cherry, vanilla, tobacco, mushroom and damp forest floor. The palate has red cherry, wild strawberry, plum, black cherry, fine-grained tannins and minerality. The finish is medium to long with persistent minerality.
