Vintage Character The 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru from Lucien Le Moine stands as a compelling reflection of Burgundy’s legendary terroir, shaped by the distinctive conditions of the vintage. A cool, frost-affected spring and challenging weather throughout the growing season led to significantly reduced yields, but also delivered wines with remarkable concentration, purity, and lively acidity—a profile highly prized by Burgundy enthusiasts for its finesse and classic structure.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 93 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this Grand Cru reveals a complex bouquet of wild raspberry, Morello cherry, rose petals, and subtle forest floor, accented by gentle spice and nuanced oak. The palate is marked by a harmonious interplay of energy and depth, with silky tannins, a refined mineral backbone, and an elegant, persistent finish. Its sophisticated structure and vibrancy make it an excellent companion for dishes such as duck breast with cherry glaze, roast lamb with Provençal herbs, or a delicate Comté cheese, showcasing its versatility at the table.
