Lucien Le Moine, Corton, Grand Cru, Burgundy, France, Still, White, 2012
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2012 Corton Blanc Grand Cru comes from two parcels. It has a precise, minerally bouquet with touches of lime flower and mineral that unfolds in the glass. The palate is well balanced with good depth, well-judged acidity and a nonchalant, lilting mineral finish. Fine.
About the Producer
Domaine Lucien Le Moine is a small-scale, boutique winery based in Burgundy, France. It was established in 1999 by Mounir and Rotem Saouma, who named the estate after their son, Lucien. The winery is known for its meticulous approach to winemaking, focusing on producing limited quantities of high-quality wines. The philosophy behind Domaine Lucien Le Moine revolves around the concept of "micro-negotiant." Rather than owning their own vineyards, Mounir and Rotem carefully select grapes from trusted growers across various appellations in Burgundy. This allows them to have control over every aspect of the winemaking process, from vineyard management to the final bottling.The winery's production is extremely limited, with a focus on premier cru and grand cru vineyards.
