Crafted from Pinot Noir and sourced from meticulously selected Grand Cru parcels, it combines power, precision, and mineral drive in a way that feels unmistakably Clos de la Roche.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine shows a healthy ruby-red color. The nose is ripe and seductive, with notes of raspberry, earth, and smoke, while the palate quickly turns more serious and tightly coiled, revealing spice, saline nuances, and a distinctly rocky, mineral edge. Rather than easy sweetness, it offers intensity and tension, with a firm, masculine structure that suggests excellent aging potential. This is a wine built to evolve gracefully over many years, gaining nuance and complexity with bottle age.\n\nClassic for a young Clos de la Roche, it is dry, concentrated, and imploded at first, yet already shows impressive dimension and depth. The 2015 vintage brings generosity and ripe fruit, but Lucien le Moine’s restrained élevage keeps the wine focused and firmly anchored in its terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClos de la Roche is one of the great Grand Cru vineyards of Morey-Saint-Denis, known for its rocky soils and naturally structured, mineral-driven wines. Lucien le Moine works with selected top parcels and vinifies the wine in Beaune using its signature approach: careful manual handling, maturation on the lees, and aging in new Burgundian oak barrels. The wine is bottled without filtration to preserve texture, character, and the full expression of the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Grand Cru pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as roast duck, squab, game birds, wild mushroom risotto, or lamb with herbs. Serve at around 16-18°C, and consider decanting for 1-2 hours when young to help the wine open up and reveal its layered aromatics and texture.\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 Burgundy’s most talked-about and sought-after négociant producers.
