"Without question, after over 25 years of producing wine, Lucien Le Moine is one of the most exciting and sought-after producers in Burgundy. Mounir is often labelled a ‘modernist’ due to his passion for the inclusion of large quantities of lees, the long élevage technique, no sulphur use during élevage, and no racking. In fact, as he says himself, it’s “as traditional as it gets,” given the winemaking history of Burgundy.
It’s important to understand just how unique their operation is. Mounir sums it up so well when he describes their dream of creating “a library of some of the greatest Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte d’Or, every vintage.” It’s an incredible array of some of the most sought-after sites in Burgundy. They are a true micro-négociant, buying between one to three barrels from each site—sometimes making over 50 different crus. Lucien Le Moine was founded in 1999, a partnership between Mounir and his wife, Rotem." - Franc About Wine, Importer
"A spicier and more expressive nose freely reveals its aromas of poached plum, black cherry liqueur and whiff of kirsch. The exceptionally rich, even lush, medium-bodied flavors possess a caressing and seductive mouthfeel that contrasts noticeably with the firm, serious, compact and youthfully austere finale. I very much like the balance and this too should age effortlessly if given the chance." - 91-94 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound
