About Domaine Louis Lequin
In 1852, Louis Isadore Lequin moved his family to the hill in Santenay where the vineyards and winery were located. The hill was rich in siliceous sand deposits which proved ideal for glassmaking. Lequin began doing glasswork as well as cultivating vineyards. All the proceeds from his glass business were reinvested into the winery with the purchase of more land. It is a well-known fact that terroirs in Burgundy vary greatly even from one site within a vineyard to another site within the same vineyard. However, there is one ubiquitous geological fact that remains: the Jurassic period, which saw much of Northern Europe and all of Burgundy submerged in a shallow sea, is responsible for the beds of exquisite sea minerals that give the wines their gravitas. All of the terroirs within Lequin s vineyard sites are possessive of that classic limestone, clay, and various marl soils so key to the elaboration of high-quality Burgundy. Similarly, each cuvee is unique, for example, the stony soils of his Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru Morgeot make for a crystalline white of great finesse, which the iron-rich terroirs of his Santenay 1er cru Passe-Temps make for a rustic red of great power. Domaine Lequin produces pure, sanguine wines ranging in style from polished to hale. The Bourgogne rouge is easily enjoyed young, while the premier & grand crus have long term aging potential.
