Domaine Lucien le Moine Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2012

Lucien le Moine’s Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2012 is a finely judged Burgundy from one of the region’s most talked-about and uncompromising producers. Made entirely from Pinot Noir, it reflects the depth and poise of this celebrated Grand Cru site, with a style that has made Lucien le Moine a reference point for collectors seeking concentrated, terroir-driven wines.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a vibrant, polished profile, with aromas of ripe redcurrant, cranberry and candied strawberry lifted by a sense of generosity and volume. On the palate, it is ripe and supple, combining sweet red fruit with impressive harmony and a long, succulent finish. As expected from a Grand Cru from a serious producer, the structure suggests excellent aging potential. While already expressive, it should continue to develop complexity, finesse and savory nuance over time, rewarding patient cellaring.

Production
Sourced from the prestigious Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru vineyards in Bourgogne, this wine comes from one of the region’s most revered terroirs for Pinot Noir. Lucien le Moine works with a highly selective approach, focusing on top sites and vinifying the wines in its Beaune cellar with great attention to detail. The house is known for aging its wines on fine lees and using new French oak barrels, with manual racking and bottling without filtration. This method is intended to preserve purity, texture and the character of the vineyard while adding precision and depth.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with dishes that echo its elegance and depth, such as roast duck, quail, veal, mushroom risotto or game birds. It also works very well with earthy, truffle-driven cuisine and fine poultry preparations. Serve at around 16-18°C, and decanting is recommended if drinking young to allow the wine to open and show its full aromatic range.

Producer
Lucien le Moine was founded in 1999 by Rotem and Mounir Saouma, a husband-and-wife team known for their meticulous, hands-on approach and commitment to producing some of Burgundy’s most sought-after wines. Originally from Israel and Lebanon respectively, they brought a fresh perspective to the region while developing a deep respect for its great vineyards and traditional grape varieties. The estate quickly gained a strong reputation for its uncompromising quality and innovative cellar practices. Today, Lucien le Moine is widely regarded as one of Burgundy’s most distinctive and respected producers, admired by critics and collectors alike.
