Meursault 1er Cru Perrieres Lucien Le Moine 2011

The wine

A wonderful Meursault premier cru, Les Perrières is crafted by the masterful hands of this domain. The nose is of course intensely perfumed, leaving nobody indifferent. Notes of lemon and white flowers typical of Chardonnay are enveloped by aromas of butter and dry fruit, conferred during maturation. Ample and persistent, the palate is balanced by a lovely acidity that offers freshness and superb ageing potential.

About the Producer Lucien Le Moine

Lucien Le Moine is a haute-couture trader/farmer maison created by Mounir Saouma and Rotem Brakin, a Lebanese couple. After the husband spent some time in a monastery and a first attempt at the art of making wine, then embarked on enology studies, he created his structure in 1999 to offer wine from the finest terroirs. The name of the maison comes from the nickname that his friends gave him as a result of his education in the Cistercian cloister: "Le Moine", the Monk. Lucien was the name given to him by the monks. Today, he produces 38 different crus, ranging from village wines to grand crus. The vinification and élevage are very precise and well done, as delicately and naturally as possible. A must-see.
