Domaine Lucien le Moine Chambolle Musigny 1. cru Les Amoureuses 2009

Lucien le Moine’s Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 2009 is a deeply coveted Burgundy from one of the village’s most admired sites. Built from Pinot Noir and crafted in Lucien le Moine’s uncompromising style, it combines delicacy, concentration, and a distinctly cerebral personality. Les Amoureuses has long been regarded as one of Chambolle-Musigny’s most enchanting vineyards, and this vintage shows exactly why.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine is poised and translucent, with the kind of refined ruby hue that signals classic Chambolle elegance. The bouquet opens with lifted red berry fruit, wild strawberries, rose petals, spice, and subtle earthy and mineral undertones, all carried by a quiet intensity rather than overt power. On the palate it feels ethereal yet substantial, unfolding in layers of silky fruit, fine tannins, and impressive depth. The texture is supple and graceful, but there is real structure beneath the perfume, giving the wine excellent balance and length. The 2009 vintage is approachable now, but it has the concentration and pedigree to continue developing beautifully over time.

Production
Lucien le Moine sources only top-tier fruit from prized Burgundy sites and vinifies in its small Beaune cellar with a highly hands-on approach. For this wine, the fruit comes from Les Amoureuses, a celebrated Premier Cru vineyard in Chambolle-Musigny known for its delicate soils and finely nuanced expression of Pinot Noir. The wine is aged on its lees and matured in new Burgundy oak barrels, with manual racking and bottling without filtration to preserve texture and site character.

Food & Serving
This is a superb match for dishes that highlight finesse rather than heaviness, such as roast quail, duck breast, poussin, or mushroom risotto. It also pairs beautifully with veal, truffled poultry, and soft-ripened cheeses. Serve at around 15–16°C, and decant gently for 30–60 minutes if serving young or from a cooler cellar; older bottles may only need a light splash decant or careful opening.

Producer
Lucien le Moine was founded in 1999 by Mounir and Rotem Saouma and quickly earned a reputation as one of Burgundy’s most distinctive small négociant houses. Based in Beaune, the domaine is known for its meticulous, hands-on élevage, its focus on Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards, and its bold commitment to low-intervention winemaking. The result has been a string of highly praised wines that place Lucien le Moine among the most respected modern names in Burgundy.
