Tasting Notes
-
Stephen Tanzer,
Score: 93-96(from vines whose roots are in humid mother rock): Deep red, not as brilliant as the Charmes. Pungent lift to the aromas of fresh red raspberry, crushed stone and mint. Wonderfully fine-grained in the mouth, displaying a faintly roasted ripeness to the flavors of cassis, kirsch and crushed rock. There's a finesse of texture and grain here that reminds me of Musigny. Offers a rare combination of thickness and energy, leaving the mouth perfumed with red and darker fruits and minerals on the extremely long, building finish. This wine boasts grand cru reserve and class in 2015.
Producer
Lucien le Moine

Lucien Lemoine is the name of the micro-negociant operation founded by Lebanese husband and wife team Mounir and Rotem Saouma. Mounir used to live and work in a monastery but left to study Oeonology and pursue his passion for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Several years living and working in Burgundy helped Mounir learn the ropes while wife Rotem orientated her studies in Dijon towards wine. Mounir's time in the Cistercian monastery is the inspiration behind the name of their operation: 'le Moine' means monk in French and Lucien was the name given to him by the monks. Lucien Le Moine sources exclusively premier cru or grand cru vineyard parcels and raises them in their vaulted cellars in Beaune, bringing a maximum of 100 barrels to the market each year.
Region
Chambolle-Musigny
The wines of Chambolle Musigny are like no other. They can be superbly delicate, yet mindblowingly complex. Of all the northern Burgundy appellations, they are the most ethereal, and as a result the most feminine. Most of the Chambolle Musigny vineyard area is encompassed in its Village and Premier Cru appellations including the robust Beaux Bruns, the splendidly mineral Le Cras and the poised yet powerful Les Amoureuses. It produces only two Grand Crus - the round and rich Bonnes Mares which it shares with Morey St. Dénis, as well as what could be described as the Stradivarius of grand crus, Musigny.
