Lucien Le Moine is a small House of Grands Crus in the Beaune region of France. The winery is a two person operation established in1999. Mounir learned and worked in a Trappist Monastery where he discovered Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
The 2018 Criots-Batard-Montrachet here too prominent, but not dominant cider character can be found on the mildly exotic aromas of white peach, lychee, and apricot along with a top note of mint. The creamy, round and opulent medium weight flavors also possess a creamy mid-palate texture where abundant dry extract coats the palate on the long if slightly warm finale. This too is somewhat particular though it is not without interest.
