The 2021 Lucien Le Moine Meursault 1er Cru Gouttes d'Or is a captivating expression of one of Burgundy’s most prestigious vineyard sites. Located in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, Meursault is renowned for its Chardonnay-based wines, which are some of the most sought-after in the world. The Gouttes d'Or vineyard, one of the top Premier Cru sites in Meursault, is celebrated for its exceptional terroir, where the combination of well-drained soils, perfect sun exposure, and a moderate slope allows the Chardonnay grapes to ripen beautifully. The name "Gouttes d'Or," which translates to "drops of gold," perfectly reflects the wine’s luxurious, golden hue and its rich, opulent character. Lucien Le Moine, a domaine founded by Mounir and Rotem Saouma, is known for producing wines that reflect both the purity of the fruit and the depth of the terroir. The philosophy at Lucien Le Moine revolves around low intervention and meticulous attention to detail at every stage of production. The Saouma duo’s commitment to quality is evident in their choice to work with some of the finest vineyards in Burgundy, including the legendary Gouttes d'Or. Their winemaking process involves using wild yeasts for fermentation and aging the wine in small oak barrels, a method that imparts subtle complexity while respecting the natural character of the grapes.
