"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 dazzlingly spicy nose reflects additional notes of rose petal, violet and exotic jasmine tea. Here too the mouthfeel of the medium weight flavors is exceptionally sleek with beautiful delineation and an almost aggressive minerality that just adds to the appeal of the compact, youthfully austere and bitter pit fruit-inflected finale. This is a serious Amoureuses and one that is very clearly built-to-age.” - 91-94 Points, Allen Meados, Burghound
