About Lucien Le Moine
Lucien Le Moine is a partnership between husband and wife team of Mounir and Rotem Saouma.
Theirs has been one of the most talked about negociant operations on the modern Cote D'Or. They actively source parcels from the finest Premier and Grand Cru vineyards up and down Burgundy.
Winemaking wise, they have been touted as one of the benchmark 'modernist producers', however, Mounir believes that his long, slow elevages and minimal use of sulphur harken back to the Burgundy production of an era gone by.
On their operation, Jancis Robinson wrote, "An extraordinary micro negociant in Beaune. Very serious quality." These are powerful, complex wines of imposing quality and stature.

From the Producer
Aged on the lees for up to 24 months, with no racking in 100% new oak. This is sourced from the Jupilles forest north of the Loire Valley, renowned for its slow growing, tight grained wood.
Wines are never pumped, moved by gravity and are unfined, unfiltered and no sulphur during ageing. A small amount is added at bottling.
A gentle decant is recommend before drinking to dissolve any slight residual carbon dioxide and to allow the wines to best show themselves.
Blend : Pinot Noir (100%)
ABV : 13.5%
Closure : Cork
Drink Until : 2035
Bottle Size : 750ml

Critic Reviews
"A moderately toasty nose reflects notes of cassis, wild red currant and soft floral wisps. ...sleek, muscular and broad-shouldered flavors..." - Allan Meadows (Burghound)

Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
