Spanning approximately 19 hectares, the domaine has practiced organic viticulture since 2000 and achieved certification in 2006. Following Chantal’s passing in 1996, her sons Aymeric and Thibault Machard de Gramont assumed management. In 2023, the estate was acquired by Jean-Philippe Girard and Eric Rousseau, with François Chavériat continuing as the head winemaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Winemaker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eJean-Philippe Girard, a Dijon native with a background in the wheat and flour industry, partnered with Eric Rousseau, formerly of Domaine Armand Rousseau, to acquire Domaine Chantal Lescure in 2023.

Domaine Chantal Lescure’s parcel is located in the upper part of the Clos, specifically in the lieu-dit “Montiotes Hautes.” The terroir consists of pebbly clay-limestone soils, with 50% of the vines being over 70 years old and the remaining replanted in 2011. This prime location contributes to the wine’s elegance and mineral character.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; Percentage Used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2021 vintage underwent a long, slow fermentation with wild yeasts in stainless steel tanks.
