Lecheneaut's 1992 Nuits St.-Georges Les Damodes was terrific from the cask, but unlike many of the wines from its neighbors, it also tastes terrific from bottle. The wine reminds me of an Henri Jayer Richebourg - and that's saying something! Its tremendous deep ruby/purple color is followed by a huge, provocative, fragrant bouquet of black fruits, flowers, and toasty oak. There is super-richness, full body, a succulent, decadent personality, and gobs of fruit, glycerin, and alcohol in the long, lusty finish. It should drink well for at least a decade.
I cannot claim to have discovered the wines of Philippe and Vincent Lecheneaut, but they are certainly among the stars of Nuits. St.-Georges. Domaine Lecheneaut is making far greater wines than some of that village's more illustrious and renowned negociants and growers.
