Vintage Character The 2021 Clos St. Denis Grand Cru from Lucien Le Moine is a striking example of Burgundy’s finesse and depth, sourced from the esteemed limestone-rich slopes of Morey-Saint-Denis. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a challenging spring with significant frost, followed by a mild summer, resulting in lower yields but wines of remarkable aromatic purity and vibrant acidity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded an impressive 94 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this Grand Cru reveals a captivating bouquet of wild raspberry, black cherry, and rose petal, layered with subtle notes of forest floor and spice. On the palate, it is lively and finely textured, with silky tannins framing a core of red fruits, delicate minerality, and a touch of savory earth, culminating in a long, refined finish. This Clos St. Denis pairs beautifully with classic French fare such as duck breast with cherry sauce, while its aromatic lift and pure fruit also make it a compelling match for lightly spiced Peking duck.
Winery Background Founded by Mounir and Rotem Saouma in the late 1990s, Lucien Le Moine has quickly established itself as one of Burgundy’s most respected micro-négociants, renowned for their artisanal and meticulous approach. Working exclusively with select grand and premier cru vineyards, they focus on minimal intervention, employing native yeasts, extended lees aging, and bottling without fining or filtration to capture the true character of each terroir. Their philosophy centers on patience and precision, ensuring that every wine expresses the purity and complexity of its origin. The Clos St. Denis Grand Cru stands as a testament to this dedication, offering a rare and expressive interpretation of one of Burgundy’s most celebrated vineyards.
