Lucien le Moine Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru 2008

Lucien le Moine Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru 2008 is a deeply expressive Bourgogne Pinot Noir from one of Morey-Saint-Denis’ most revered vineyards. Crafted in tiny quantities and known for its precision, texture, and intensity, it reflects both the pedigree of Clos Saint-Denis and the meticulous, hands-on philosophy that has made Lucien le Moine one of Burgundy’s most sought-after names.

Makuprofiili
The wine shows remarkable complexity and purity, with an aromatic profile that unfolds in layers of nutmeg, iris, rare beef juices, blackberry, and red currant. On the palate, it is silky and concentrated, balancing sweet and bright fruit with a distinctly savory, almost carnal depth. Notes of toasted pecan and crushed stone add further nuance to a long, resonant finish. Despite its generosity, the wine carries the structure and mineral drive expected of a Grand Cru, suggesting excellent aging potential. Robert Parker noted its rapid evolution and quarter-century cellar potential, and this 2008 vintage has the balance to develop beautifully over time.

Viininvalmistus
Sourced from Clos Saint-Denis, a Grand Cru site in Morey-Saint-Denis, the wine draws on classic Burgundy terroir marked by finesse, mineral tension, and layered complexity. Lucien le Moine works with top vineyard parcels and vinifies each cuvée with minimal intervention, emphasizing precision and site expression. The wines are aged on their lees in new Burgundian oak barrels and bottled by hand without filtration, a method that aims to preserve texture, depth, and terroir character.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This is a refined, expressive Pinot Noir that pairs beautifully with dishes like duck breast, roast quail, veal tenderloin, wild mushroom risotto, or truffle-scented poultry. Serve at 16–18°C for the best balance of aromatic detail and structure. Decanting is recommended, especially in its youth or if serving soon after opening, to allow the wine’s layered bouquet to fully emerge.

Tuottaja
Lucien le Moine was founded in 1999 by Rotem and Mounir Saouma, who quickly established the domaine as one of Burgundy’s most distinctive producers. Based in Beaune, the estate became known for sourcing top-tier Premier Cru and Grand Cru fruit and elevating it through a highly artisanal approach to élevage and bottling. Their uncompromising style, innovation, and consistently acclaimed wines have earned them a strong reputation among collectors and critics alike.
