Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Pierre Rovani
The spice and mineral-scented 2000 Montrachet is light to medium-bodied, concentrated, and focused. Lemons, limes, and metal shavings can be discerned in its linear character. Drink it over the next 8-9 years. Importer: Jeffrey Davies Signature Selections, West Nyack, NY; tel. (845) 353-8767
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.
