Domaine Lucien Le Moine Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2010

Lucien Le Moine’s Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru 2010 is a remarkable expression of one of Burgundy’s most celebrated Pinot Noir sites, offering both power and finesse in a beautifully composed package. Crafted by Rotem and Mounir Saouma with their signature hands-on, low-intervention approach, it brings together the contrasting personalities of Bonnes-Mares with striking depth and precision. With an anticipated drinking window stretching from 2025 to 2045, this is a wine built for both patient cellaring and profound maturity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Grand Cru shows the poised, dark-fruited intensity expected from Bonnes-Mares, with a polished structure and a sense of inner energy. Robert Parker noted the wine’s dual personality: one barrel offering a cool, mineral-infused fruit profile, the other showing the silkier, more sensual side of Chambolle, resulting in a blend that feels complete and compelling. On the nose, expect sweet floral notes layered with menthol, spice, and refined red and black fruit. The palate is graceful yet concentrated, with seamless texture, nuanced minerality, and a long, effortless finish. The wine has excellent aging potential and should continue to gain complexity and harmony over two decades or more.

Production
Lucien Le Moine sources top-tier fruit from carefully selected Grand Cru parcels in Bonnes-Mares, one of the most prestigious vineyards in Burgundy, where the interplay of soil structure and microclimate can yield both depth and elegance. The wine is vinified in Beaune under the meticulous direction of Rotem and Mounir Saouma, who favor élevage on the lees in new classic Burgundian oak barrels, followed by manual racking and bottling without filtration. This approach is designed to preserve terroir expression while adding texture, dimension, and age-worthy structure.

Food & Serving
This wine is best served with refined dishes that can complement its depth and aromatic complexity, such as roast duck, pigeon, veal tenderloin, game birds, or earthy mushroom dishes. Serve at around 16-18°C, and decant gently if drinking young or if you want to open up its layered aromatics. For mature bottles, a shorter decant is usually enough to remove sediment and allow the wine to unfold naturally.

Producer
Domaine Lucien Le Moine was founded in 1999 by Rotem and Mounir Saouma, whose uncompromising vision quickly made the estate one of Burgundy’s most talked-about and sought-after producers. Known for working with exceptional Premier Cru and Grand Cru sites and for vinifying with great precision in their own cellar, they have earned wide acclaim from critics and collectors alike. Their reputation is built on innovation, exacting standards, and a deep devotion to Burgundy’s Chardonnay and Pinot Noir traditions.
