Lucien Le Moine, Vosne Romanee

Unusually for Burgundy, this domaine – named “Lucien the Monk” – has no connection to any of the monasteries that dominated the viticulture for centuries. Founded in 1999, it is rather a unique “non-estate” as the wines are sourced throughout Burgundy, especially in Chambolle, Gevrey, Morey, Vosne and Vougeot (red) as well as in Corton Charlemagne (white) primarily from Grand and Premier Cru usually in small parcels. Exceptionally fine vineyard land is owned in Vosne, and the wines from Vosne have exceptional concentration and depth!

The wines are then treated to elevage as deemed fit by winemaker Rotem Saouma who describes his wines as a “library of the greatest Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in the Cote d’Or”. The wines invariably show lovely sweetness of fruit and perfect spicing of oak. Unusual possibly, exceptional definitely!
