Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2014 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru has a very pure raspberry and wild strawberry nose with hints of undergrowth and cold stone coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, redcurrant and cranberry fruit, spicier than the Griotte-Chambertin with impressive density and persistence on the finish. This actually shades the Clos-de-Bèze at the moment.
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.
