Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
The 2009 Echezeaux (from En Orveaux) is pure seduction. Layers of silky, perfumed fruit emerge from the glass in this crystalline Burgundy. The aromas and flavors turn brighter with time, giving the wine additional lift and freshness. Sweet red berries, flowers, spices and minerals wrap around the chiseled, finely sculpted finish. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2034. Importer: Vintus LLC, Pleasantville, NY; tel. (914) 769-3000, Atherton Imports, Menlo Park, CA; tel. (650) 328-6639
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.
