From the En Lutenière lieu-dit at the foot of Vosne-Romanée, this Bourgogne En Lutenière 2023 from Domaine Benoît Chevallier offers red fruit, freshness and minerality with precision and real elegance.
The Bourgogne En Lutenière 2023 from Domaine Benoît Chevallier is one of the domaine's most compelling cuvées, and arguably one of the most singular wines at its level. Behind the regional Bourgogne appellation lies a well-kept secret: the En Lutenière parcel is physically situated within the commune boundaries of Vosne-Romanée, that mythical village home to Romanée-Conti and some of the world's greatest wines. An administrative boundary accident, drawn in 1936, placed this lieu-dit just outside the communal appellation line. The terroir itself has not moved.
The En Lutenière lieu-dit
En Lutenière is a parcel planted to the south-east of Vosne-Romanée, on silty and clayey-limestone soils characteristic of the Côte de Nuits foothills. Until 1936, this parcel was classified as Vosne-Romanée village appellation in its own right. The redrawing of appellation boundaries relegated it to regional Bourgogne status, despite its terroir and surroundings remaining unchanged. It benefits from the same exposure, subsoil and microclimate as its neighbours in the communal appellation. For discerning collectors, this administrative anomaly is precisely what makes it rare: access to the soul of Vosne-Romanée at a price not yet reflecting its prestige. At Benoît Chevallier, the parcel is farmed organically with the same care as his Premier Crus.
Tasting profile
The robe is a clear, luminous ruby with beautiful transparency. The nose is fine, precise and immediately seductive, offering aromas of ripe red fruit, raspberry, cherry and small berries, accompanied by delicate floral notes and a whisper of soft spice. On the palate, the wine reveals itself as elegant and balanced, with a supple, fruited texture, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity that brings tension and length. The finish is clean, fruited and subtly mineral, with that airy, precise character that unmistakably recalls the Vosne origin of this parcel. A wine of pleasure and character, both approachable in its youth and promising over several years of ageing.
The domaine
Benoît Chevallier founded his domaine in 2019 by taking over family land cultivated for three generations in Vosne-Romanée. A former software engineer, he now works his vineyards alone, including parcels in Premier Cru on Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges. From his first vintage, the domaine was honoured with the Young Talent Trophy and praised by the Wine Advocate as one of the rare new talents to have emerged in Vosne-Romanée in recent years. Organic viticulture is practised across the entire domaine, with the constant ambition to reveal, vintage after vintage, the purity and honesty of each terroir.
Food pairing
This Bourgogne En Lutenière pairs beautifully with poultry terrine with herbs, roast chicken with wild mushrooms, fresh pasta with truffle, Burgundy ham with parsley or a plateau of soft cheeses such as Brie or Chaource. Lightly chambered around 15-16°C, it will also be excellent as an aperitif, served with a few slices of fine charcuterie.
