Regular price $124.95
Vincent Legou, based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, has recently taken over the vineyard of his father, Jacky Legou. Mindful of his vineyard and aware of the need to preserve the environment around us, Vincent Legou decided to turn to organic farming . This new approach brings to its wines a greater freshness and even more authentic expression of the terroir.
Vincent Legou knows these vineyards well, having taken over his family’s estate after eight years working for Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (he doesn’t mention this on his website—one suspects the usual Burgundian tendency toward understatement). Very soon thereafter he began the conversion to organic viticulture, and he takes the respect of each terroir and each vine to all of his vineyards, from his parcels in the Hautes Côtes de Nuits down to Puligny.
Native yeasts, low sulfur additions, and a minimal influence of oak are the hallmark of his winemaking.
