DOMAINE RENE LEQUIN-COLIN CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET 1ER CRU "LES VERGERS" BLANC
Francois has two impressive plots in this renowned !er Cru, one which was planted in 1987 and the other was planted in the 1950s. Both plots are located in the northwest corner of the Cru, totalling 0.46 ha, and border the 1er Cru sites of "Les Chaumées" and "Clos Saint-Jean." Lequin's Vergers is his most taut in the Premier Cru range; it is marked more by structure and acidity than fullness and creaminess.
