Lucien le Moine Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2020

Lucien Le Moine is a small House of Grands Crus in Beaune, committed to producing wines of excellent purity. Lucien Le Moine produces only Grands and Premiers Crus from Côte d’Or. They aim to have the Most Beautiful Crus in each Village, renewing their selection every year, producing 1 to 3 barrels from each selected cru an never producing more than 100 total barrels in a year, averaging around 60. All oak for the winery comes from the Jupilles forest and is slowly toasted on coals individually adapted to suit each cru and vintage. All wines are aged on their lees, with gentle stirring occurring three to four times a month putting the lees in suspension in the wine, the wine than feeds upon the lees gaining in balance and complexity. The wines are kept on their lees until bottling never racking during aging. The wines are bottles unfined and unfiltered by gravity with no filtration or pumping, this ensures maximum freshness and a high level of CO2. For those same reasons, it is recommended decanting this wine for an hour or more before drinking. It’s entirely possible that 2020 is their finest yet as virtually every wine is recommended – Burghound The Finer Details Style – Red Wine Varietal – Pinot Noir Country – France Region – Burgundy Vintage – 2020 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV -14%
