About Domaine Chantal Lescure Pommard Les Vaumuriens

In Burgundy, every hill tells a tale, and that of Les Vaumuriens is among the most enchanting in Pommard. Its name, inherited from Old French, literally means "the valley of the mulberries" —vau for valley, murier for mulberry—, a nod to its agricultural past when fruit trees shared these lands with the first vineyards. Today, those limestone slopes give rise to one of the most refined and expressive pinot noirs of the appellation.

Although Les Vaumuriens does not hold the Premier Cru classification (though many argue it should), it is a highly esteemed plot by local producers for its elegance and its ability to showcase the most refined and mineral aspect of Pommard. It is the kind of wine that does not seek to dominate with power, but rather to captivate with depth, balance, and an almost ethereal freshness.

One of the masterminds behind this masterful interpretation of the vineyard is Domaine Chantal Lescure, founded in 1975 by Chantal Lescure and Xavier Machard de Gramont. Since then, the estate has expanded to 19 hectares, stretching from the slopes of Dijon to Meursault, all cultivated under certified organic agriculture since 2006. Their philosophy is clear: to intervene as little as possible so that the land speaks with its own voice.

Pommard Les Vaumuriens originates from old vines planted on limestone soils, on a slope with ideal exposure. The harvest is conducted by hand, in small baskets, with meticulous selection of bunches before gravity-fed vatting. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts in wooden vats for about 18 to 20 days, followed by ageing in the same vats, with between 50% and 80% new oak from forests in central France and the Vosges. After racking and a brief rest, the wine is bottled unfiltered, preserving all its purity.

As a result, Pommard Les Vaumuriens is a great terroir-driven pinot noir, vibrant and elegant, where mineral tension and fresh red fruit are balanced with a silky texture and an earthy undertone that reminds one of its origins. A wine that demonstrates that in Burgundy, the terroir reigns supreme. 


 

2020

Domaine Chantal Lescure Pommard Les Vaumuriens 2020 offers an immersive experience from the very first sip. On the nose, it unfolds a spectrum of aromas, with prominent notes of ripe blackberries and a subtle hint of spice, reminiscent of a stroll through an autumnal forest. On the palate, its silky and elegant texture merges with a robust structure and a mineral touch that makes it exceptionally appealing. This red wine possesses a harmonious complexity where the presence of meatiness is pronounced yet retains its elegance. Recommended for its balance between intensity and delicacy, it is a wine that masterfully reflects the essence of Pommard.
