Unlike many growers in Burgundy, Domaine Chantal Lescure does not work as a Negociant. Founded in 1975 by Chantal and her husband Xavier (currently owned and run by their children Aymeric and Thimbault), the domaine owns 18ha of pristine vineyards from Meursault in the Côte de Beaune to Chambolle-Musigny in the Côte de Nuits.

Along with winemaker François Chavériat (one of the most inspiring figures in Burgundy, no doubt) they painstakingly selected the best sites in Burgundy based on terroir and soil type (from rare blue granite to limestone smattered with red clay coloured with iron oxides).

The wines of Domaine Chantal Lescure, like many other small domaines, have slipped under the radar of the major English-speaking wine writers, but are well-revered with the French.
