The Winery

Lucien le Moine

This bright, hardworking, extroverted man has created in a few short years one of Burgundy’s finest independent negociant firms.-Wine Advocate

Established in 1999, this two-person micro-négoce is owned by Mounir and Rotem Saouma. It is located in the Côte de Beaune and sources Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from different vineyards, from villages to Grand Cru, in the Côte d'Or. Some of Le Moine’s grand cru sites include Bonnes-Marres, Le Montrachet, and Echezeaux as well as some of Burgundy’s premier cru sites. The owners make an effort to take continuous inventory as a means to constantly re-evaluate the sources. Production fluctuates greatly at Lucien Le Moine, although they never exceed 100 barrels. Quality over quantity is greatly valued at this beloved estate.

Tasting Notes

WA94–95
The two barrels of Le Moine 2007 Vosne-Romanee Les Petits Monts are strikingly redolent of pink grapefruit and blood orange, along with bittersweet, iris-like floral perfume, fresh black fruits, and intimations of forest floor. This displays white wine-like vivacity and refreshment, its tannins entirely subsumed under a torrent of sheer fresh fruit and finishes with exhilarating impingement of citrus oils, brown spices, chalk, salt, and fresh berries. An astonishingly distinctive Pinot, it bids fair to be worth following for a decade or more, but on no account ought it to be missed in its youth!
