The "Les Creux Fraîches Eaux" parcel is located in the heart of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation in the Côte de Nuits. This unique parcel benefits from clay-limestone soils and a cool microclimate, ideal for growing Chardonnay. The Chantal Lescure wine estate, certified organic since 2009, cultivates its vines with particular care, reflecting the purity and typicity of the Burgundian terroir.
Philippe Mischler, sommelier at Mundovin : The white Nuits-Saint-Georges "Les Creux Fraîches Eaux" from the Chantal Lescure wine estate is a rare and precious cuvée, illustrating the potential of white wines in an appellation renowned for its reds. Its balance of freshness, minerality and aromatic complexity makes it an essential choice for lovers of great Burgundy wines.
The nose is subtle and refined, opening with elegant floral notes of hawthorn and acacia, accompanied by a touch of honeysuckle. Gradually, ripe citrus aromas emerge, evoking lemon, tangerine and grapefruit, bringing a sensation of tonicity and liveliness. This is followed by deeper nuances of white-fleshed fruit, such as Williams pear and vine peach, complemented by a touch of fresh hazelnut and almond.
On the palate, the attack is frank and precise, marked by a fine mineral tension that recalls the freshness of the clay-limestone terroir of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The balance between liveliness and volume is remarkable: a beautiful fullness gradually develops on the palate, supported by chiseled acidity that stretches the wine with elegance.
