Sourced from one of Morey-Saint-Denis’ most celebrated grand cru vineyards, it reflects both the depth of this exceptional site and the meticulous, low-intervention approach that has made Lucien le Moine a cult name among Burgundy lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this 2005 shows the polish and presence expected of a great Grand Cru, with a luminous, deeply colored Pinot Noir profile. The bouquet is crystalline and precise, unfolding with maraschino cherry, fresh raspberry, orange sorbet, and a cool stony nuance that gives the wine lift and definition.\n\nThe palate is remarkably harmonious, combining intensity with freshness, vitality, and exceptional clarity. There is fine-grained structure beneath the fruit, and the finish is long, poised, and lingering. Still very much in its youth for a Grand Cru, it has the concentration and balance to age beautifully for many years, while also showing well with generous aeration now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClos de la Roche is one of the most respected Grand Cru sites in Burgundy, prized for its mineral-driven intensity and structured, ageworthy Pinot Noir. Lucien le Moine works with carefully selected top parcels and vinifies the wine in Beaune, using a highly artisanal approach: whole, hand-managed élevage on fine lees, maturation in new Burgundy oak, late malolactic fermentation, and bottling directly from barrel without filtration to preserve purity and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine is best served with elegant dishes that match its depth without overpowering its finesse, such as roast duck, pigeon, game birds, veal, or mushroom-based dishes. Decant generously if opening now—several hours is ideal—and serve at around 16–18°C. A younger bottle like this benefits greatly from aeration, which helps reveal its aromatics and soften the structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLucien le Moine was founded in 1999 by Rotem and Mounir Saouma, and has since become one of the most talked-about producers in Burgundy. Known for their uncompromising standards and innovative cellar work, the pair built a reputation by focusing exclusively on top-quality 1er Cru and Grand Cru wines from carefully chosen growers. Their meticulous methods and consistent critical acclaim have made Lucien le Moine a benchmark for intense, expressive, and highly collectible Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucien le","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252013519185,"sku":"FW-326","price":669.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/clos_de_la_roche_3_2.png?v=1783442803","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/domaine-lucien-le-moine-clos-de-la-roche-grand-cru-2005","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
