Vintage Character The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a warm, sunny growing season, producing wines with notable ripeness, concentration, and refined structure. Maison Lucien Le Moine Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2022, crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir grown within the iconic walled Clos de Vougeot vineyard, exemplifies the depth and purity of this celebrated terroir.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded an impressive 95 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this Grand Cru opens with an alluring bouquet of black cherry, wild strawberry, violets, and subtle forest floor and spice notes. On the palate, layers of juicy red and black fruits intertwine with fine-grained tannins and a mineral-driven backbone, leading to an elegant, persistent finish with nuances of earth, truffle, and a hint of savory umami. Ideal pairings include roast duck breast, herb-crusted lamb, and aged Comté, while Peking duck offers a distinctive complement to the wine’s silky texture and aromatic complexity.
