Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru “Les Baudes”
Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru “Les Baudes”
Lying just under Bonnes-Mares, Les Baudes shows a more structured and powerful side of Chambolle-Musigny.
Lucien Le Moine Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru “Les Baudes” 2016 (94 VM)
Vinous Media “Healthy red-ruby color. Soil-driven aromas of black raspberry, smoky minerals, wild herbs and pungent black licorice. Then dense and deep but relaxed, with a Chambolle fluidity of texture supported by…

Burghound “A deft touch of wood can be found on the dark pinot fruit, spice, floral and newly turned earth aromas. There is once again excellent punch and a taut muscularity…

Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru “Les Genavrières” 2016
Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru “Les Genavrières”
The 1er Cru Genavrières is located on the highest part of the Clos de la Roche vineyard. The wine has both the body of the Clos de la Roche and the finesse of this high part of Morey St Denis. The vines here were once exclusively white, but have gradually been taken over by Pinot Noir. The site is very rocky, with a visibly high content of limestone in the soils.
Lucien Le Moine Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru “Les Genavrières” 2016 (93 VM)
Vinous Media “Bright ruby-red. Sappy black cherry, brown spices, orange zest and flowers on the nose; there’s an almost exotic note of fruit syrup here yet the overall impression is dark and…

Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Estournelles-Saint-Jacques” 2016
Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Estournelles-Saint-Jacques”
Estournelles St Jacques sits just above Lavaut St Jacques, a five acre vineyard at the top of the slope. Mounir Saouma describes this wine by staying it is in character between Les Cazetiers, which is fine and subtle, and Lavaut St Jacques, which is more powerful and tannic. Estournelles St Jacques has a beautiful balance, and a lovely weight that also displays subtlety.
Lucien Le Moine Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Estournelles-Saint-Jacques” 2016 (92 VM)
Vinous Media “Bright red-ruby. Aromas of raspberry, strawberry and milk chocolate convey a syrupy ripeness. Plush and pliant in the mouth, as much red fruit as black in character. Offers good concentration…

Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Les Cazetiers” 2016
Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Les Cazetiers”
Les Cazetiers is a 21 acre vineyard that faces almost due east. Always one of Lucien Le Moine’s exciting wines, it combines fantastic definition and complexity. Mounir Saouma explains that the vines he uses are nearly 100 years old, and there is tremendous subtlety, spiciness and elegance. It is the essence of Gevrey without the body, all finesse.
Lucien Le Moine Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Les Cazetiers” 2016 (94 VM)
Vinous Media “Slightly cloudy appearance. Classic, pure Genevrières scents of lemon, lime, tangerine and ginger. At once large-scaled and sharply focused, with its dusty citrus zest, spice and anise flavors communicating a…
Lucien Le Moine Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Les Cazetiers” 2016 (94 BH)
Burghound “The particular form of reduction the Burgundians call bourgeon de cassis overshadows the fruit today. More positively, here too the big-bodied flavors possess excellent muscularity and power along the first-rate…

Lucien Le Moine Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Aux Combottes” 2016 (93 WA)
Wine Advocate “Unwinding in the glass with a deep bouquet of cherries, wild berries, incense, rose petals and spices, the 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes is medium to full-bodied, velvety and…

There are 431 acres of vineyards which take this appellation at the village level, of which 29 are in Prémeaux. Of the 1er Cru vineyards, numbering 36, 28 vineyards occupy 248 acres in Nuits-Saint-Georges; the remaining eight, in Prémeaux, cover 104 acres.

Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru “Les Suchots” 2016
Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru “Les Suchots”
Les Suchots is one of Lucien Le Moine’s finest Crus every year. Mounir says that, like Échézeaux, there is an almost Syrah-like character of licorice and smoke. Les Suchots is a wine with a lot of tannin and less of a classic, delicate Burgundian profile.
Lucien Le Moine Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru “Les Suchots” 2016 (92 BH)
Burghound “Moderate reduction masks everything save for a few spice elements. The rich, full-bodied and very generously proportioned flavors brim with an abundance of dry extract while showing fine persistence on…

Vinous Media “Bright ruby. Slightly compact aromas of black cherry, licorice, menthol and dark chocolate. Very ripe on the palate but with terrific inner-mouth tension, showing as much red fruits as black…

Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru “Les Petits Monts” 2016
Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru “Les Petits Monts”
Les Petits Monts is a small, 9 acre vineyard just up-slope from Richebourg. Mounir Saouma says about Les Petits Monts that it is not far from Les Suchots, and on top of Richebourg, with a poor, dry soil. It is in character the opposite of Les Suchots, which is colored and tannic - it is a subtle and very fine wine, which shows little tannin, more floral notes and more of a St-Vivant character.
Lucien Le Moine Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru “Les Petits Monts” 2016 (93 WS)
Wine Spectator (93) "Perfumed with rose, cherry, strawberry and sandalwood aromas, this red is elegant and silky. Lovely balance and harmony makes this very approachable now, augmented by a well-integrated structure for aging.…
