Domaine Lucien le Moine Richebourg Grand Cru 2017

Lucien le Moine’s Richebourg Grand Cru 2017 is a rare, highly sought-after expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most prestigious vineyards. Crafted by Rotem and Mounir Saouma with an uncompromising, hands-on approach, it reflects both the grandeur of Richebourg and the producer’s reputation for precision and depth.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Grand Cru is typically deep ruby in colour, with the intensity and translucence expected from great Burgundy. The nose can be wonderfully layered, offering dark cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, spice, forest floor, and subtle oak notes, all unfolding gradually with air. On the palate, it should be concentrated yet refined, with fine-grained tannins, vivid acidity, and a long, mineral finish. Lucien le Moine’s style often gives the wine remarkable texture and energy, making it enjoyable young with patience, while its structure promises excellent aging potential over many years, if not decades.

Production
Richebourg lies in the heart of Vosne-Romanée, where the combination of limestone-rich soils, excellent exposition, and low-yielding old vines produces some of Burgundy’s most powerful and complex Pinot Noir. Lucien le Moine sources only top-tier fruit, then vinifies and matures the wine in its own Beaune cellar, using a highly selective, artisanal approach. The grapes are handled entirely by hand, and the wine is aged on its lees in new classic Burgundian oak barrels. It is bottled manually, without filtration, preserving texture, purity, and the character of the terroir.

Food & Serving
Serve this wine with refined dishes such as duck breast, roast quail, game birds, truffled mushroom risotto, or beef fillet with a rich red wine sauce. It also pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses. For best enjoyment, serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for 1–2 hours, especially in its youth, to allow the aromatics and structure to fully open.

Producer
Lucien le Moine was founded in 1999 by Rotem and Mounir Saouma, and has quickly become one of the most talked-about names in Burgundy.
