Vincent Ledy founded his domaine in 2007 after years of training at Domaine Lecheneaut, bringing with him both technical mastery and a restless energy that quickly made his wines stand out. Based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, he farms just 3.5 hectares spread across appellations from Bourgogne Rouge to premier cru Les Porrets-Saint-Georges.
Though not from a winemaking family, his zealous commitment to organic farming from the outset reflects a philosophy rooted in authenticity and respect for the land. In the cellar, whole-cluster fermentations, ambient yeasts, and the absence of sulfur during vinification give voice to the pure, transparent terroir of Burgundy. His barrels have seen four wines or more, sourced from Domaine Lécheneaut. "I have no wish to blend outside tannins with the terroir," he says. His wines are already being compared to the likes of Lalou Bize-Leroy and Confuron-Cotetidot for their intensity, depth, and precision.
This comes from Ledy's vineyard in Chaux, situated on the Côte above the main part of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The parcel has a southeast exposure and limestone-rich soils, planted between 1994 and 2002. "Vendange Entière" refers to 100% whole-cluster vinification, imparting lift and tension. 2020 shows vivid ripe cherry, raspberries, and strawberries with magnificent balance, silky texture, and tremendous tension and length.
Gorgeous now but can be held for 5-7 years. This is soulful Burgundy that punches well above its appellation.
