Clos du Roi, a special field, is located in the center of the village of Allos Corton, at the top of the Corton Hill, in a perfect location a little lower than the fields around the top. The land is made up of limestone soil and is a special vineyard known for producing wine of the highest quality among many other plots. The wines produced are rich and powerful, and when young, have a classic style with austerity. This is a red wine that, with repeated aging, develops a gorgeous and complex flavor. Please come and enjoy this wonderful special field that is highly regarded in the village.
Lucien Le Moine

A genius who knows everything about Burgundy's terroir.
Mr. Mounir Sauma, head of Lucien Le Moine, is a former Cistercian monk. Speaking of the Cistercians, they are the founders of terroir research who spread winemaking throughout Burgundy and laid the foundations for the modern Burgundy appellation.
Mr. Sauma opened his eyes to Burgundy wine when he was a monk, then studied winemaking at wineries across France and California, and established Lucien Le Moine. Wine Advocate magazine praised him for having created one of the best négociants in a short period of time, and it is said that there is nothing better than Burgundy wine.
