Once again there is a plethora of floral influences to the more deeply pitched aromas of poached plum, newly turned earth and a more restrained array of spice elements. The moderately concentrated but wonderfully refined, intense and well-detailed flavors possess focused power while the impressively long, structured and quite serious finish tightens up considerably.

Reviews:

Wine Enthusiast: This red leads with a scent of graphite, with overlaying aromas and flavors of cherry, black currant, rose hip tea, black pepper and spice. Starts out juicy and intense, closing in on itself and becoming more compressed, yet the aftertaste is long and evokes fruit, mineral and oak spice.

Producer Information

Lucien Le Moine is a small ngociant house in Burgundy's Cte de Beaune region. Established in 1999, it produces Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from around the Cte d'Or, from village-level, premier cru and grand cru vineyards. Le Moine produces wine from several grand cru sites, including Bonnes-Mares, Le Montrachet, Echezeaux and Richebourg. As well as some of Burgundy's most famous premier cru sites such as Les Amoureuses. Vineyards that Le Moine recieve grapes from are among the most sought-after in Burgundy. Several village-level wines are also included in the portfolio, as well as generic Bourgogne Rouge and Blanc offerings. Constantly re-evaluating its sources, production at Lucien Le Moine fluctuates greatly and never exceeds 100 barrels or roughly 30,000 bottles. Limited cellar space means that some crus can consist of a single barrel and result in only 300 bottles. Lucien Le Moine is focused on the levage period of winemaking. Wines are aged on their lees, and malolactic fermentation is put off as long as possible to produce softer wines with fewer sulphites. Depending on the vintage, battonage is used to maximize contact with the lees. Lucien Le Moine uses 100 percent new oak from the Jupilles forest in northwest of France. The wines are bottled directly from barrel with no blending, fining or filtering.
