Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2014 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a crisp, undergrowth-tinged bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and faint sea-spray scents. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy, sorbet-fresh red fruit, a little savoriness here, nice depth if needing a little more finesse to develop on the finish. Perhaps just curtailed by the growing season? At the moment, both the Gaudichot and Les Malconsorts outplay this grand cru.
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.
