Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères Lucien Le Moine 2009

La «cuvée»

This is one of the most reputed plots from the Puligny-Montrachet villages appellation. Grown in clay-chalk soil, the Chardonnay grapes were matured in barrels. It magnificently brings together the tension of its terroir, the freshness of the grapes’ aromatic notes, and the sumptuous texture from the maturation.

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.
