Lucien Le Moine, the esteemed micro-négociant house founded in 1999 by Mounir Saouma and Rotem Brakin, has built a reputation for producing exceptional small-batch wines from some of Burgundy’s most revered terroirs. With a philosophy rooted in minimal intervention, long barrel aging in 100% new oak, and no fining or filtration, each wine is crafted to reflect both the identity of its vineyard and the purity of the vintage. The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Charmes exemplifies this approach, offering a precise and elegant expression of Chardonnay from one of Puligny's lesser-seen but quietly distinguished lieux-dits. In the glass, the wine reveals aromas of white peach, lemon zest, and fresh pear, complemented by delicate floral notes and a whisper of toasted brioche. On the palate, it is finely textured and balanced, with vibrant acidity driving flavors of citrus, orchard fruit, and crushed stone minerality. The oak is seamlessly integrated, offering structure without excess, and the finish is long, clean, and subtly saline. While still youthful, the 2021 Les Charmes shows impressive depth and poise, making it an excellent choice for discerning collectors and clients seeking a refined, cellar-worthy white Burgundy that speaks to the precision and finesse of the vintage.
