2023 Lucien Le Moine Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanee

One of the most sought-after names among Burgundy collectors, Lucien Le Moine represents a modern, almost artistic approach to Burgundy. Founded in 1999 by Mounir Saouma and Rotem Brakin, the house does not own vineyards; instead, they source exceptional fruit and barrels from some of the finest growers across Burgundy. Their philosophy is to preserve the identity of each vineyard through a very traditional élevage, allowing the terroir, vintage, and personality of the site to shine through. Their wines are aged on the lees for extended periods with minimal intervention, creating bottles that are expressive, powerful, and built around texture. The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “La Romanée” is a stunning expression of one of the Côte de Beaune’s most prestigious white wine villages. Sitting near legendary neighbors like Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault, Chassagne is famous for producing some of the world’s greatest Chardonnay. “La Romanée” brings together the classic Chassagne combination of richness and minerality — a vineyard that delivers both elegance and depth.
