Pommard 1er Cru La Chaniere Lucien Le Moine 2022
14%
0.75L
Intensity
A complex, structured Pinot Noir from Pommard, delivering red fruit, a powerful yet elegant palate and a lingering finish.
More infoThe terroir of La Chanière, in Pommard at the heart of the Côte de Beaune, is composed of clay-limestone soils that provide excellent drainage while retaining the moisture the vines need during hot summers. These rich soils allow for aromatic concentration while preserving the wines’ freshness and finesse. The grapes are harvested by hand at full phenolic ripeness. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to ensure optimal development. The wine is then aged for 18 months in French oak casks, with a proportion of new wood, before being bottled without filtration.
In the glass, the hue is a gorgeous intense ruby-red. The delicate and complex nose reveals aromas of black cherry, raspberry and blackberry, lifted by subtle floral notes of violet and a touch of spice. On the palate, the wine is structured, carried by firm yet well-integrated tannins. It displays a beautiful concentration of black fruit and a certain strength, while retaining great finesse.

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.
