2023 Lucien Le Moine Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Au-dessus Malconsorts

Few names in Burgundy inspire the same level of excitement and admiration as Vosne-Romanée. Often considered the most prestigious village in the Côte de Nuits, Vosne is famous for producing Pinot Noir with an unmatched combination of elegance, perfume, and depth. The 2023 Lucien Le Moine Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru “Au-dessus des Malconsorts” comes from one of the village’s most fascinating and coveted sites — a vineyard that sits directly above the legendary La Tâche and adjacent to the famous Aux Malconsorts vineyard of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. The Au-dessus des Malconsorts vineyard is a special place — sharing the same hillside as some of Burgundy’s greatest Grand Cru vineyards. Its limestone-rich soils, ideal exposure, and proximity to legendary terroirs create Pinot Noir with remarkable complexity and aging potential. It is a site that captures the magic of Vosne-Romanée: power wrapped in silk. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, the 2023 vintage delivers an extraordinary aromatic profile of black cherry, wild raspberry, violets, rose petals, and exotic spice, followed by deeper layers of sandalwood, forest floor, earth, and subtle mineral notes. The palate is beautifully refined — concentrated but weightless, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and an exceptionally long finish.
