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.

The Pinot Noir vines flourish along the legendary Route des Grands Crus between Gevrey-Chambertin to Morey-Saint-Denis. Each vine, located at an altitude of more than 250 metres, enjoys a sunny east-facing exposure, guaranteeing ideal sunshine for the grapes to ripen properly. The silt, limestone and clay soils supply the vines with all the energy and nutrients they require to thrive. Once the Pinot Noir grapes have been meticulously sorted and transported to the winery, they are vinified in the traditional way.
The bright red colour, both clear and sparkling, reveals a concentrated nose, characterised by expressive aromas of red berries, complemented by greedy notes of chocolate. In the mouth, a clean attack reveals a perfectly structured red wine with perfectly integrated fine tannins, leading to a fruity, complex and persistent finish.
