(The following is from the importer materials)
The appearance is a deep ruby color. When poured into a glass, aromas of blackberry, black raspberry, and cassis fruit emerge, along with smoky aromas of tobacco and underbrush. An excellent style with a well-balanced combination of rich, supple tannins, lively acidity, and dense fruit flavors. The fine minerality creates an elegant texture, with a salty taste and a long lingering finish.
Lucien Le Moine
Unique, passionate, and distinctive Burgundy No. 1 négociant
Lucien Le Moine is known as Burgundy's No. 1 negociant. Sticking to our unique beliefs, we produce top-notch wines that go beyond négociants.
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.
Burgundy producers know their fields well, but it is rare to find someone who has such detailed and systematic understanding of the entire appellation. He is a person with a deep knowledge and love for Burgundy wine that is respected by the owners of the vineyard.
